I imagine you may know a lot about this, but what OS/machine were they using to develop it? PDP-11?, CPM? What editors did they use? Line editors? Which machines did they use to test on? Most drives and even RAM was unreliable back then and everything was small. I imagine there were plenty of obstacles back then. I remember using CPM where floppy disks had to be swapped between the editor and compiler, and your program may fit on another floppy disk.
