   2) CDC Cybers, 170 series.  (I have to hedge a bit here, we can use *7*
character identifiers, but, since it also uses, I believe, an underscore,
that takes up one of the characters.)  It is, however, monocase.
And, surprising though it may be to those who know the machine (and those 
who don't should 8-)), there exist at least *two* C Compilers for the macine:
UofTexas (or is it Austin, I forget) ported PCC to NOS (ugh!), and I and a 
couple of friends (Hi mike!) ported Small-C (almost as much ugh!).   
The Compilers work, but there is not much we can do about the linker (part 
of the operating system, you see; generally, you build a ".o" equivilent, 
then, when you try to run it, the OS recognizes that it is non-linked and 
then proceeds to link it).
