Burroughs ESPOL has been dead since the early 1980s. The B6700/B7700 MCP (OS) was completely rewritten at that time in a new language, NEWP, which is somewhat MODULA-like. It is still in use for the Unisys ClearPath MCP systems that have evolved from the B6x00/B7x00 systems.
There are various stores about the name, one that it stands for No Executive Washroom Privileges and other that when asked if the new compiler was ready yet, John McClintock, the primary developer, would answer "newp!" This first is probably apocryphal; the second probably isn't.
