	Catalog of Free Compilers and Interpreters.


With this document, I attempt to track the freely available compilers
and interpreters.   THIS IS STILL A DRAFT DOCUMENT: it has errors, it
is not complete, and I might re-organize it. 

There is some overlap of coverage between this document and 
Bill Kinnersley's Language List.  His document covers all computer 
languages and as a by-product includes some information about 
implementations.  I wish to cover all free implementations and as
a by-product cover some languages.   Both from laziness and to avoid
duplication of effort, I have not integrated the information from
Bill Kinnersley's Language List into my catalog.

There is also some overlap between my catalog and Colas Nahaboo's 
Catalog of embeddable Languages.

It is my intention that my catalog primerily serve developers rather
than researchers.  I am much more intersted in production quality 
systems. 

To be on this list a package must have source code included.  If there
are any packages on this list that do not have source code included,
then I would appreciate it if it is brought to my attention so that 
I may correct the error.

There are many fields filled in with a question mark (?).  If you have
information which would allow me to remove question marks, please
send it to me.	The only field which I do not expect to be completely
obvious is the "parts" field because I wish to distinguish between 
compilers, translators, and interpretors.  To qualify as a compiler
as I'm using the term, it must compile translate to a machine-readable
format no higher-level than assembly.  Why?  Just because.  If you've
got a better idea, send it in.

I hope to post this once a month.  I don't know if I will be able to.

David Muir Sharnoff <muir@tfs.com>, 10/2/92

This documents attempts to catalog freely availiable compilers,
interpretors, libraries, and language tools.  It is my intention 
that it be aimed at developers rather than researchers.

Please note that I am supporting the FSF boycott of Apple by not including
Macintosh-only entries.	 If you want to find Macintosh ports, ftp to
bric-a-brac.apple.com, sumex-aim.stanford.edu, pacific.mps.ohio-state.edu,
plains.nodak.edu, plains.nodak.edu, wuarchive.wustl.edu, archive.umich.edu,
jyu.fi, neptune.ethz.ch, archive.umich.edu, cs.dal.ca, and ftp.uu.net.
Or send mail to Zbigniew Fiedorowicz <fiedorow@function.mps.ohio-state.edu>
for his list.

description:	Yerk is an object oriented language based on a
		Forth Kernel with some major modifications.  It
		was originally known as Neon, developed and sold
		as a product by Kriya Systems from 1985 to 1989.
		Several of us at The University of Chicago have
		maintained Yerk since its demise as a product.
		Because of the possible trademark conflict that
		Kriya mentions, we picked the name Yerk, which is
		at least not an acronym for anything, but rather
		stands for Yerkes Observatory, part of the Department
		of Astronomy and Astrophysics at U of C.

description:	Hermes is a very-high-level integrated language and
		system for implementation of large systems and
		distributed applications, as well as for
		general-purpose programming.  It is an imperative,
		strongly typed, process-oriented language.  Hermes
		hides distribution and heterogeneity from the
		programmer.  The programmer sees a single abstract
		machine containing processes that communicate using
		calls or sends.	 The compiler, not the programmer,
		deals with the complexity of data structure layout,
		local and remote communication, and interaction with
		the operating system.  As a result, Hermes programs are
		portable and easy to write.  Because the programming
		paradigm is simple and high level, there are many
		opportunities for optimization which are not present in
		languages which give the programmer more direct control
		over the machine.

		Although the Kevo system has been built to experiment

		resemblance to Forth; in particular, the system
		executes indirect threaded code, and a great deal
		of the primitives are similar to those of Forth's.
