README for MAD This program is a work of reconstructive archeology, a compiler for the Michigan Algorithmic Decoder (MAD) language from 1959-1962. It first translates MAD code into C, then uses the local C compiler to make an executable binary. It includes both a complete transcription of the original MAD manual and 100dpi scans of the original. Added many enhancements and CTSS support. You will need David Beazley's PLY code to handle parsing. This implementation is part of the Retrocomputing Museum. For related resources, see .
