Do we know anything about the software that ran on it? What language it was developed on, what host platform was used for development, etc? Does any of the code survive?

Much of the software was in a language called HAL/S (High-order Assembly Language/Shuttle), using an IBM 360/370 for compilation. Other software was written in Fortran. See https://www.cs.toronto.edu/XPL/hal.html and https://repository.arizona.edu/bitstream/handle/10150/613923...

  • Interesting... I know about HAL/S being used for the AP-101S Shuttle software, inter alia. I didn't realise it was used for the CII Mitra 125 as well. I would have assumed the Europeans would have used something else.
