          extensively, so the first task was to transfer the compiler-
          compiler Tree Meta.  Source code was generated on the 940 to run
          on the PDP-10.  Binaries were then transmitted to Utah and run and
          debugged.  Patches were performed where possible, and source
          changes accumulated.  A new source and binaries would then be made
          periodically.

          Once Tree Meta was running, a new high level language (called L-
          10) for programming the On-Line System (NLS) was implemented in
          the same way.  When L-10 was running the core device independent
          parts of NLS were rewritten and debugged.  NLS was completely
          reorganized during the transfer.
