6) The BCPL programs that are part of the system are: boot.b, blib.b, dlib and
cli.b. These reside i n BCPL/cintcode/sysb and can be compiled by the following
commands (in the BCPL Cintcode System).
c bs boot
c bs blib
c bs dlib
c bs cli
The standard commands are in BCPL/cintcode/com and may be compiled using bc.
For example:
c bc echo
c bc abort
c bc logout
c bc stack
c bc map
c bc prompt

c b queens
queens
c b mcqueens
