A bit-off-sbuject (not for the Compupro, but for another 32016 system).

Acorn's 32016 second processor for the Beeb (also modified and used in 
the Acorn Cambridge Workstation) ran an operating system called Panos on 
top of some firmware called Pandora.

There were various languages available, including BASIC (which may have 
run directly on Pandora), Fortran, Lisp and C. The BASIC was 
interpretted, the rest compiled.
