Yup. But:

From the reference given above, page 1, paragraph 1, sentence 1:

	The language BCPL (Basic CPL) was originally developed as a
	compiler-writing tool and, as it's name suggests, is closely
	related to CPL (Combined Programming Language) which was
	jointly developed at Cambridge and London Universities.

Of course, BCPL could be an acronym for many things (like BASIC or
SNOBOL), so I'll apologize in advance if you've got a quote where it
is used that way.
