55.0. "Available Languages" by HARE::STAN () Thu Feb 07 1985 01:26

Can someone come up with a master list of available languages at DEC?

(not just the official products; that's easy to get a list of), but
all those compilers just sitting around in various places...

It would be nice to know: what operating system it runs on,
where it came from, how do you get a copy, and is it being maintained?

I believe that there is an internal use only DEC publication which
covers this.  It is called  "Language Fundamentals".  The copy I have
is order # AA-M460D-TK, dated October 1984

Yes, I have that. But what I want is the list of all those
compilers I hear about in this file, that I don't know where
to get.

Well, since no one came up with a list for me, I compiled one myself.
See note 63.
