Remember the British computer industry?

You'd imagine that a company with the smarts to create one of the most consistent, coherent and effective mainframe operating systems I have ever used and created its own efficient, clear and coherent language in which to write it might try to hold onto the source code for the compiler of that language, wouldn't you? If so, then you would be sadly mistaken.
