	The final version of the original PDP-10 Muddle was 56/106 (ITS/TOPS-20 version numbers), which looks to be an internal development version.

'''Muddle''' was a [[LISP]]-like [[programming language]] created in 1971 by/for the Dynamic Modeling group at [[Project MAC]], initally in cooperation with the [[MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory\|AI lab]]. It was later renamed '''MDL''', but the original name has stuck. The language was picked up by ISI researcher Richard Shiffman, and ported to the ISI [[TENEX]] computers, and later to [[TOPS-20]].

			A suite of the Muddle 55 interpreter, compiler, assembler, and libraries has been recovered from [[MIT]] backup tapes. It's complete enough to rebuilt Zork from source code.

			The final version of the original PDP-10 Muddle was 56/106 (ITS/TOPS-20 version numbers), which looks to be an internal development version. A new '''Machine independent Muddle''', or '''MiM''', was developed for TOPS-20, [[VAX]], Apollo, and Apple computers.
