- You might be interested in the attached (I've left in only the
- Prolog-relevant parts; the full original is in comp.lang.sigplan,
- or it can be obtained from the publicity chair HOPL@CRL.DEC.COM;
- the conference has some general talks plus specific talks on
- the histories of Algol-68, Pascal, Concurrent Pascal, Ada, Lisp,
- Prolog, FORMAC, CLU, Smalltalk, Icon, Forth, C, C++ and others).
