Hello all, I am writing a paper on the history of COMIT string processing language at MIT in the late 1950--early 60s, which involves parsing a few published programs written in the language. So far, I've made great progress using available documentation but I would also love to speak to anybody who was involved with the project (under Yngve or others at RLE or the Computing Center), and especially anybody experienced with coding in COMIT. Please get in touch if you are interested. With regards,

Dennis
