It recognizes pseudostatemens written as comment of the programming language in question. CLiP distinguishes pseudostatments from ordinary comments because the former comply with a a particular style. This specific style can be adjusted to suit virtually any programming language. The CLiP approach to LP makes the system extremely versatile. It is independent of programming language and text processing environment. We designed CLiP to be compatible with hypertext systems as well but we have not yet experimented with this form of documentation. CLiP works with almost any target and almost any source language ports: MS-DOS, VAX/VMS, Unix updated: 1993/11/18 language: HP-GL, Postscript package: hp2ps version: 1.9c parts: interpreter author: Alun Jones <alun@huey.wst.com> how to get: ftp pub/hp2ps/hp2ps19c.zip from ftp.wst.com description: hp2ps is an HP-GL interpreter that is written in Postscript.

It is intended to be used as the front end for structure-controlled SGML applications. SGML is an important move in the direction of separating information from its presentation, i.e. making different presentations possible for the same information. bugs: James Clark <jjc@jclark.com> ports: unix, msdos updated: 1993/02/22 language: troff, nroff, eqn, tbl, pic, refer, Postscript, dvi package: groff version: 1.07 parts: document formatter, documentation author: James Clark <jjc@jclark.com> how to get: ftp groff-1.07.tar.z from a GNU archive site description: [An absolutely fabulous troff! --ed] restriction: GNU General Public License requires: C++ updated: 1993/03/03 language: Web package: CWeb version: 3.1 parts: translator(ANSI C and C++) author: Levy/Knuth? how to get: ? description: [Referred to in the CWeb 3.x announcement (below).

OSI Application protocols such as X.400 MHS (email) and X.500 directory and others protocols such as SNMP use ASN.1 to describe the PDUs they exchange. Snacc compiles 1990 ASN.1 (including some macros) data structures into C, C++ or type tables.

IDL (Interface Definition Language) is the base mechanism for object interaction. The SunSoft OMG IDL CFE (Compiler Front End) provides a complete framework for building CORBA 1.1-compliant preprocessors for OMG IDL. To use SunSoft OMG IDL CFE, you must write a back-end; full instructions are included. A complete compiler of IDL would translate IDL into client side and server side routines for remote communication in the same manner as the currrent Sun RPCL compiler. The additional degree of freedom that the IDL compiler front end provides is that it allows integration of new back ends which can translate IDL to various programming languages. Several companies including Sunsoft are building back ends to the CFE which translate IDL into target languages, e.g. Pascal or C++, in the context of planned CORBA-compliant products. requires: C++ 2.1 conformant C++ compiler contact: idl-cfe@sun.com updated: 1993/05/04 language: NewsClip ? package: NewsClip version: 1.01 parts: translator(NewsClip->C), examples, documentation author: Looking Glass Software Limited but distributed by ClariNet Communications Corp. how to get: ? description: NewsClip is a very high level language designed for writing netnews filters.

This language supports the following programming paradigms/purposes: 1) Structurally object-oriented specification of attributed graph structures with multiple inheritance hierarchies and types of types (for parametric polymorphy). 2) Declarative/relational specification of derived attributes, node sets, binary relationships (directed edges), and Boolean constraints. 3) Rule-oriented/visual specification of parameterized graph rewrite rules with complex application conditions. 4) Nondeterministic & imperative programming of composite graph transformations (with built-in backtracking and cancelling arbitrary sequences of failing graph modifications). Therefore, PROGRES may be used as 1) a very high level programming language for implementing abstract data types with a graph-like internal structure, 2) a visual database programming language for the graph-oriented database system GRAS (which is available as free software under the GNU license conditions), 3) a rule-oriented language for rapid prototyping nondeterministically specified data/rule base transformations. Furthermore, PROGRES is an almost statically typed language which additionally offers "down casting" operators for runtime checked type casting/conversion (in order to avoid severe restrictions concerning the language's expressiveness).

It was first designed by Don Woods and Jim Lyons in 1972 as a deliberate attempt to produce a language as unlike any existing one as possible. The manual, describing features of horrifying uniqueness, became an underground classic. ESR wrote C-INTERCAL in 1990 as a break from editing _The_New_Hacker's_Dictionary_, adding to it the first implementation of COME FROM under its own name. The compiler has since been maintained and extended by an international community of technomasochists. The distribution includes extensive documentation and a program library. C-INTERCAL is actually an INTERCAL-to-C source translator which then calls the local C compiler to generate a binary. The code is thus quite portable. contact: Steve Swales <steve@bat.lle.rochester.edu> updated: 1993/05/20 language: Logo package: logo version: 4 parts: interpreter author: ? how to get: comp.sources.unix archive volume 10 description: ? updated: ? language: Logo package: Berkeley Logo version: 3.0 parts: interpreter author: Brian Harvey <bh@anarres.CS.Berkeley.EDU> how to get: ftp pub/ucblogo/* from anarres.cs.berkeley.edu description: + Logo programs are compatible among Unix, PC, and Mac. + "richer" than MswLogo? - pretty slow. - doesn't do anything fancy about graphics.
