-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.

-Barbara Liskov wanted to explore abstract data types and started to design the '''CLU''' [[programming language]] in 1973, as part of the Computation Structures Group of [[Project MAC]].  The computer hosting development was the Dynamic Modeling [[PDP-10]] running [[ITS]].  Initial work was done using [[Maclisp]], but was moved over to the [[MDL]] language which was integral to the Dynamic Modeling project.  Later versions would be increasingly self-hosting.  As the DM PDP-10 was getting older, CLU moved to the MIT-XX [[TOPS-20]] machine, and later Unix on VAX and Sun machines.  There is now a Portable CLU for Linux etc.
