for Revised Unified New Compiler with IT Basic Language Extended

Algebraic translation system by Donald Knuth on IBM 650. It was to Case SOAP III what Compiler II-SOAP II had been to SOAP II

Way said (1958)

"The new compiler referred to in the previous paragraph has been named RUNCIBLE. I shall now stick out my neck and state quite flatly that I do not believe that any tighter program will ever be devised for the 650."
