DESCRIPTION
Altran, a language for rational algebra, is described in W.
S. Brown, ALTRAN User's Manual. For more information execute
`man altran'.
Cospan, a system which analyzes concurrent programs written
in the data-flow language S/R for properties defined by
automata, is described in Z. Har'El and R. P. Kurshan,
COSPAN User's Guide, 1121-871009-21TM, AT&T Bell Laborato-
ries, 1987. For more information, execute `man cospan'.
Esterel compiles single-process implementations of programs
expressed in terms of asynchronously cooperating automata.
For more information, execute `man esterel'.
Icon, a general-purpose language with stream-based corou-
tines is described in R. E. Griswold, The Icon Programming
Language, Prentice-Hall, 1983. For more information, exe-
cute `man icont'.
Lisp, the symbol manipulation language, is described in J.
K. Foderara, `The Franz Lisp Manual', in Unix Programmer's
Manual, Seventh Edition, Virtual VAX-11 Version, 1980, Vol-
ume 2C (Berkeley)
Macsyma, another symbolic algebra language, is described in
Macsyma Reference Manual, Laboratory for Computer Science,
LANGS(1) LANGS(1)
MIT, 1977. It breaks if the environment contains shell
functions.
Maple, a third symbolic algebra language, is described in K.
O. Geddes, G. H. Gonnet, and B. W. Char, MAPLE User's
Manual, Third Edition, Research Report CS-83-41 Dept. of
Computer Science, University of Waterloo, 1983. For more
information execute `man maple'.
Ops5 is a production-system interpreter described in C. L.
Forgy OPS5 User's Manual, Department of Computer Science,
Carnegie-Mellon University, July, 1981. For more informa-
tion execute `man ops5'.
Pascal is an interpreter and pc is a compiler for the well
known language. For more information, type `man pascal pc
pxp'.
Ratfor accepts Fortran extended with C-like control con-
structs and compiles into Fortran. For more information
execute `man ratfor'. For a full description see B. W. Ker-
nighan and P. J. Plauger, Software Tools, Addison-Wesley,
1976.
S, a system for data analysis and graphics, is described in
R. A. Becker, J. M. Chambers, and A. R. Wilks, The New S
Language, Wadsworth, 1988.
Smp, a fourth symbolic algebra language, is described in C.
Cole and S. Wolfram, SMP Handbook, California Institute of
Technology, 1981.
Sno is a dialect of Snobol 3. For more information execute
`man sno'.
Spitbol is a dialect of Snobol 4. For more information exe-
cute `man spitbol'. The full story is in R. B. K. Dewar, A.
P. McCann, R. E. Goldberg, and S. G. Duff, Macro SPITBOL
Program Reference Manual, and R. E. Griswold, J. F. Poage,
and I. P. Polonsky, The SNOBOL4 Programming Language Aca-
demic Press, 1968.
Struct, an inverse of ratfor, deduces rational control
structure from pure Fortran. For more information execute
`man struct'.
Twig is a language for tree manipulation, useful for code
generation and other applications. For more information
execute `man twig'. See also S. W. K. Tjiang, Twig
