1.1     ! root        1: bsmall - the small B interpreter.
        !             2: 
        !             3: This directory contains the sources of a version of the B interpreter
        !             4: that may run on a PDP-11 with separate I and D space.  It is not very

        !             6: overflows the system's memory.  Also we don't support this version.
