		Modula-2 environment in provided complemented with a set of
		parallel libraries, which even include routines for
		implementing low-level parallel operations.  The employment of
		of C translator allows increased accessibility to actual
		parallel machines (many have nothing lower-level than C), at
		the expense of Modula-2 features of arrays bounds checking
		and symbolic debugging at the Modula-2* level.
		[An interpreter could be written with functionality subsuming
		 that of a symbolic debugger. -- Mark]

author:		Peter Klein <pk@i3.informatik.rwth-aachen.de>
location:	ftp://ftp-i3.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/Modula-3-Contrib/m2tom3/
description:	m2tom3 is a system to port Modula-2 programs to Modula-3.
		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.
		This version performs a wide range of conversions including
		WITH-statements, variant RECORDS, qualification of enumeration
		type literals etc.
		For a detailed description, see the enclosed README file.

package:	PRAM emulator and parallel modula-2 compiler ??
version:	?
parts:		compiler, emulator
author:		?
location:	ftp://cs.joensuu.fi/pub/pram/
description:	A software emulator for parallel random access machine (PRAM)
		and a parallel modula-2 compiler for the emulator.  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.

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.

		may be used like other traditional language systems (e.g. cc).
		It consists of a compiler, a makefile generator, a debugger,

		supports exception handling, concurrency, synchronization,
		persistence, and distributed systems. The package contains a
		copying garbage collector.  The compiler is written in
		Modula-2, the debugger in C, all other parts are written in
		Oberon. More informations may be found at
		http://www.mathematik.uni-ulm.de/oberon/

description:	PROGRES is an integrated environment for a very high level
		programming language which has a formally defined semantics
		based on "PROgrammed Graph Rewriting Systems". 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).
		PROGRES is meant to be used with GRAS, which is also available

		terminate and have predictable behavior over a limited safe

		No memory leaks. Tested with a commercial memory leakage detector
		(purify).  Includes isamchk, a very fast utility for table checking,
		optimization and repair.
		Full support for the ISO-8859-1 Latin1 character set. For example,
		the Scandinavian characters @ringaccent{a}, @"a and @"o are allowed
		in table and column names. 
		All data are saved in ISO-8859-1 Latin1 format. All comparisons for
		normal string columns are case insensitive. 
		Sorting is done according to the ISO-8859-1 Latin1 character set
		(the Swedish way at the moment). It is possible to change this in the
		source by adding new sort order arrays. To see an example of very
		advanced sorting, look at the Czech sorting code. MySQL supports many
		different character sets that can be specified at compile time. 
		Aliases on tables and columns as in the SQL92 standard. 
		DELETE, INSERT, REPLACE, and UPDATE return how many rows were changed
		(affected). 
		Function names do not clash with table or column names. For example,
		ABS is a valid column name. The only restriction is that for a function
		call, no spaces are allowed between the function name and the `(' that
		follows it.
		Clients connect to the MySQL server using TCP/IP connections or Unix
		sockets, or named pipes under NT. 
		The EXPLAIN command can be used to determine how the optimizer resolves
		a query. 
		The January 1999 issue of Linux Journal reported that the
		1998 Readers Choice Award chose MySQL as the 'Most Used Database
		over the Internet'.

		is still in progress.  The following subset of SQL is
		currently supported (full ANSI compliance being the ultimite
		goal): CREATE TABLE, CREATE INDEX, SELECT, INSERT,
		DROP TABLE, DROP INDEX. The SELECT statement supports complex
		expressions complete with implicit join operations as well
		as explicit btree index support.
		Supported operators include <>, <, >, contains, begins, and =.
		- Full source code available
		- Complex expression parser
		- Implicit joins
		- Variable length fields and records
		- Multi-Attribute B-Tree indexes

author:		Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com>
location:	ftp://locke.ccil.org:pub/retro/
		(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.  The code
		is thus quite portable.
