  BCPL: started Jan 1967 by Martin Richards at MIT and in use MIT and Oxford Programming Research Group in May 1967. In use on Cambridge Titan October 1968 and subsequently on IBM 370 series. (Also used for Tripos operating system on PDP11, CA LSI4 etc.) Retired from local IBM mainframe in 1994, but still in use elsewhere.
