	There is an APL, I hear Eiffel is being ported, and Maple is
available (since you listed Mathematica).  We of course have Rexx, also.
In the lisp(like) world we have XLisp and Scheme.

	rbrukhart on Bix (of R&R) said they were considering porting their
validated Ada compiler to the Amiga after they did their Sun port.  Tweak them
if you want to see it actually get done.

	You forgot SPITBOL, ML, Algol, FOCAL, and Euclid, Dave. ;-)
