It consists of two parts: 1) A conversion program which tries to create a Modula-3 source text with the same semantics as the Modula-2 input while retaining the original look and feel as good as possible. 2) A base library which tries to emulate the Modula-2 standard library using the Modula-3 standard library.

A PRAM consists of P processors, an unbounded shared memory, and a common clock. Each processor is a random access machine (RAM) consisting of R registers, a program counter, and a read-only signature register. Each RAM has an identical program, but the RAMs can branch to different parts of the program. The RAMs execute the program synchronously one instruction in one clock cycle. pm2 programming language is Modula-2/Pascal mixture having extensions for parallel execution in a PRAM. Parallelism is expressed by pardo-loop- structure. Additional features include privat/shared variables, two synchronization strategies, load balancing and parallel dynamic memory allocation. contact: Simo Juvaste <sjuva@cs.joensuu.fi> updated: 1993/02/17 language: Modula-3 package: SRC Modula-3 version: 3.5 parts: compiler(->C), runtime library, documentation author: DEC Systems Research Center <m3-request@src.dec.com> LINUX version compiled by Michel Dagenais location: ftp pub/DEC/Modula-3/release-3.5/*.tar.gz from gatekeeper.dec.com MSDOS: ftp pub/DEC/Modula-3/contrib/m3pc* from gatekeeper.dec.com Linux: ftp.vlsi.polymtl.ca in pub/m3/linux (binaries only) description: The goal of Modula-3 is to be as simple and safe as it can be while meeting the needs of modern systems programmers. Instead of exploring new features, we studied the features of the Modula family of languages that have proven themselves in practice and tried to simplify them into a harmonious language. We found that most of the successful features were aimed at one of two main goals: greater robustness, and a simpler, more systematic type system. Modula-3 retains one of Modula-2's most successful features, the provision for explicit interfaces between modules. It adds objects and classes, exception handling, garbage collection, lightweight processes (or threads), and the isolation of unsafe features. conformance: implements the language defined in SPwM3. requires: gcc, preferrably X11 ports: i386/AIX 68020/DomainOS Acorn/RISCiX MIPS/Ultrix 68020/HP-UX RS6000/AIX IBMRT/4.3 68000/NextStep i860/SVR4 SPARC/SunOS 68020/SunOS sun386/SunOS Multimax/4.3 VAX/Ultrix discussion: comp.lang.modula3 contact: Bill Kalsow <kalsow@src.dec.com> updated: 1994/07/09 language: Oberon2 package: Oberon-2 LEX/YACC definition version: 1.4 parts: parser(yacc), scanner(lex) author: Stephen J Bevan <bevan@cs.man.ac.uk> location: ftp pub/oberon/tools/o2lexyac.tar.Z from ftp.psg.com http://panther.cs.man.ac.uk/~bevan/oberon description: A LEX and YACC grammar for Oberon 2 based on the one given in the listed reference. reference: The Programming Language Oberon-2 H.

A complete compiler of IDL would translate IDL into client side and server side routines for remote communication in the same manner as the currrent Sun RPCL compiler. The additional degree of freedom that the IDL compiler front end provides is that it allows integration of new back ends which can translate IDL to various programming languages.

This language supports the following programming paradigms/purposes: 1) Structurally object-oriented specification of attributed graph structures with multiple inheritance hierarchies and types of types (for parametric polymorphy). 2) Declarative/relational specification of derived attributes, node sets, binary relationships (directed edges), and Boolean constraints. 3) Rule-oriented/visual specification of parameterized graph rewrite rules with complex application conditions. 4) Nondeterministic & imperative programming of composite graph transformations (with built-in backtracking and cancelling arbitrary sequences of failing graph modifications). Therefore, PROGRES may be used as 1) a very high level programming language for implementing abstract data types with a graph-like internal structure, 2) a visual database programming language for the graph-oriented database system GRAS (which is available as free software under the GNU license conditions), 3) a rule-oriented language for rapid prototyping nondeterministically specified data/rule base transformations. Furthermore, PROGRES is an almost statically typed language which additionally offers "down casting" operators for runtime checked type casting/conversion (in order to avoid severe restrictions concerning the language's expressiveness).

Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> location: ftp locke.ccil.org:pub/retro/intercal-0.10.tar.gz (in the Museum of Retrocomputing) description: INTERCAL is possibly the most elaborate and long-lived joke in the history of programming languages. It was first designed by Don Woods and Jim Lyons in 1972 as a deliberate attempt to produce a language as unlike any existing one as possible. The manual, describing features of horrifying uniqueness, became an underground classic. ESR wrote C-INTERCAL in 1990 as a break from editing _The_New_Hacker's_Dictionary_, adding to it the first implementation of COME FROM under its own name. The compiler has since been maintained and extended by an international community of technomasochists. The distribution includes extensive documentation and a program library. C-INTERCAL is actually an INTERCAL-to-C source translator which then calls the local C compiler to generate a binary.
