Could you, if possible, briefly characterize remote batch 
processing systems?

Andrei Petrovich!

Let me take an opportunity and provide you with the following information:

1. We (in Gorky) have a translation of specification for TSPS time sharing system 
developed by GE Company (for GE-400) on the base of BASIC language.
2. We have translation of two BASIC language versions (from GE and HP companies).
3. We started to write a BASIC compiler for BESM-6 in two versions 
(a global one and a step-by-step one); we hope to finish debugging this year 
and are going to attach a couple of "Consuls".

If anything of the above is of any interest to you, we (me and Co) are at your service.
