Yeah, other than the source:

  https://github.com/PDP-10/its/blob/master/src/sysen2/mldev.106

there's not a lot on it.


That's typical of a lot of the innovative work done at the AI Lab, LCS, etc;
they built some extraordinary tools, but to them they were just tools they
used to work on their research, their _real_ work. So why bother to write that
stuff up? So people who actually used them remember them, but other than
that...

Welcome to tomorrow, where everything gets re-invented, because everyone is too
busy to waste time learning about the past.
