That's amazing, thanks for pointing out. Which compiler did you use to run Birtwisle's DEMOS?

I believe we used GNU Cim for the coursework, but it's some years since I took this class personally so I can't say for certain.

Thanks. CIM generates C, so you would have had to run a C compiler too. Was the referenced course material specifically describing DEMOS and Simula as well?

Do you happen to have a PDF of the course material which you could share? I will contact the course admin otherwise.

Yes, CIM is generating C and uses the available C compiler behind the scenes.
