I made a mistake! The article exists, but it is
in Dr Dobbs Journal.

It was written by Edward Mitchell, and was in four parts

Augusta -- an Ada Subset for Micros, Jan. 1983
Augusta -- 2, the Augusta P-Code Interpreter, Mar. 1983
Augusta -- Part III, Recursive Descent Compilers, May 1983
Augusta -- Part IV, the Augusta Compiler (continued), July 1983

Too bad the Dr Dobbs CD doesn't go back to 1983, I will have
to find some library that has the older issues.
