I would like recomendations for a programming languages course.  As I see the
course I would like to spend about 1/3 of the course implementing a small
language, about 1/3 looking at 'different' languages (not pascal, fortran,
modula II, C, basic, Cobol or assembler) like lisp, prolog, snobol, etc. and
about 1/3 trying to abstract principles of programming languages.  Most
students have worked with Pascal, Modula-2, assembler and probably 1 other
language, have had Data Structures and Machine organization and Assembley
language courese.

I would like possible text to cover at least 2/3s of the course and any other
comments on experiences on this type of course.  I will summarize if there is
sufficient interest.  johnh...
