KSCN0108b.jpgLayout of Atlas Private Tape with CC source100 viewsThis is a document which contains the allocation of blocks of varios files related to Compiler Compiler at the London University Atlas.

It shopws that the original tapes paper tapes (presumably from Manchester) were calles B through M and that the London University modifications were called M.2 M.3 and M.3+

It also shows that that magnetic tape also contained the source code of many of the compilers written in CC. All now sadly lost?
