It is growing at an amazing rate...now approximately 900 languages listed! Many of the question marks have been filled in, and we are trying to include literature references wherever possible. Another list by Jean Sammet summarizing the language scene as of 1978 has been added. While I'm not particularly excited by languages that are extinct, I think that this is a necessary base to build on. Many of these languages have compilers/interpreters that are in the public domain, and I'm particularly interested in including information on net addresses where persons can ftp to get them. Therefore I'm attaching below the list of ftp sites that I know of so far, and also the mailing lists devoted to discussions on a particular language. Clearly this list is very preliminary and incomplete, so I'm asking anyone with better information to please send it along to me. --Bill K. ----------- List of Language-Specific FTP Sites and Mailing Lists: ABC - hp4nl.nluug.nl (UNIX source, MSDOS and Mac executables) list: abc-list@cwi.nl request to: steven@cwi.nl (Steve Pemberton) ALLOY - cs.nyu.edu:pub/local/alloy.
