PARASOL is a language I developed myself for my own business
use. It has been tailored to provide the features I needed for
the applications I have developed over the last several years.
Due to the overwhelming popularity of the MS-DOS systems running
on the 8086, I feel that there is no longer any need to keep this
to myself. Therefore, I am placing this into the public domain
so that others may benefit from it.
PARASOL is not modeled after any one particular language,
but has features derived from COBOL, ALGOL, and PASCAL (and maybe
just a touch of BASIC). The individual statements are COBOL-like
while the structure of the language more closely follows ALGOL.
The language provides many high-level constructs, especially
in the area of file record I/O, yet it maintains the closeness to
the machine hardware which is so necessary in those difficult
situations.
You may use PARASOL, or the source code for your own private,
non-commercial use without restriction. If you wish to use
PARASOL for any profit-making activity, there is a required
$25.00 registration fee. Registered users will be informed of
other software written in PARASOL which may become available from
time to time. Also, registered users get support. If you are a
registered user, and have a problem, I can be reached at:

You will get a prompter reply on GENIE than on Compuserve,
since I can't afford to spend 2-1/2 times as much to log onto
Compuserve as often as I do GENIE.
