	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 ...

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

Randell, you forgot CLU, MIDAS, SIMPL, RPG, CAL, CART (an AI lang early 60's)
and a buncha others I've used over the years.  Gee, this is fun reminiscing! :-
