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, a subset of PL/I (similar to above 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.
Kingston FORTRAN II (mostly called 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).
