Kingston FORTRAN II | proficient |
Modula-2 | very rusty |
Pascal | beginner |
PL/I | good to gooder |
QBE | defunct |
REXX | proficient |
SAS | ok |
Script/370 | good |
Script/VS | good |
Snobol | was ok, but non-functional |
SQL | not so good anymore |
Viatron FORTRAN IV | very good |
ACP and PARS --- I was part of the team that first implemented the Passenger Airline Reservation System for a hotel/motel business --- a motel room is just a huge seat (chair) with a bed and TV, but doesn't fly anywhere.
APL still bemuses me.
BPL (Basic Programming Language) was a Honeywell subset of PL/I (I was one of the programmers/authors).
HPL (Honeywell Programming Language) was a subset of PL/I (similar to above) and was to be used for Honeywell's new computer --- it was never built, but from what I could glean from the specs, it would have used HPL as it's native [machine] language and seemed to have some of the characteristics of IBM's FS system (and apparently, suffered the same fate).
Kingston FORTRAN II (locally called FORTRAN 2.5) was for the IBM 1620 with a lot of FORTRAN IV capability.
Viatron FORTRAN IV was the FORTRAN compiler for the Viatron home computer (I was one of the CUC authors of the compiler and libraries; CUC was the Computer Usage Company, at that time, the oldest software company in the USA).
