A "language" called "Intercal" was written, as a joke, at Princeton University in the mid-70's. I have a manual for it at home. (Possibly, only the manual was written, not the language it describes.) With a lot of prodding, I could be dragooned into xerographing a copy and sending it to you. (This involves hunting through some musty old boxes of college papers.) Or you can see if the Princeton University Computer Center still has the manual on-line (well, accessible as a batch job from the IBM Operating System. Probably not directly accessible from the CMS timesharing system.) The number for the PUCC Computer Clinic used to be: (609) 452-6028 or -6029 However, that was eight years ago. You can contact the University switchboard at (609 452-3000. Hope this helps. By the way, I believe one of the authors of the language went on to be a prime mover of Amdahl's UTS stuff, or maybe one of his brothers. They left quite a trail at Princeton. Of course, I could be completely wrong. -- David Schachter #include <disclaimer.h> #include <allegedly_humorous_comment.h>
