I see CLC-INTERCAL is nicely preserved on Claudio's website, but I'm interested in tracking down all the historical versions of C-INTERCAL I can.
So far, I have: 0.3 (and three patches to it, which I'm calling 1.3, 2.3, and 3.3) 0.5 0.18 through 0.22 inclusive 0.24, 0.25. 0.26, 1.26 0.27 (and a patch to it, which again I'm calling 1.27) 0.28
and also two compilers based on it: Threaded Intercal version 0.7 and C-INTERCAL 0.15 for DOS
Does anyone here have any other versions of C-INTERCAL lying around that they could send me, or know where I could find them? I'll put the ones I've found online somewhere if anyone's interested.
Basically, an attempt to preserve our history.
(Also btw, anyone know where source to any other INTERCAL compilers has got to? I know about CLC-INTERCAL and J-INTERCAL, but apparently more exist, such as the original Princeton compiler.)

I should still have a copy of the original Princeton compiler, though probably only in printed form. (It may also be on an old tape but I doubt it's still readable.) A while back some folks were asking me about letting them OCR-scan the old source listing or something, but I lost touch with them before it got that far.

Wow, that would be really exciting if it could be managed. Probably just scans of the source would be enough; we could OCR them later (or given the interest in INTERCAL, it might even be possible to get someone, probably me, to retype them). The original source to INTERCAL is a major relic of computing history, or ought to be IMO.
