125.0. "CARL/KARL" by WELSWS::DODD () Thu Jan 22 1987 04:17

    Hi
    
    	I wonder if anyone ever heard of a language called CARL
    (or maybe KARL) I am going to a customer who has piles of the
    stuff running on GEAC computers (?) and is considering VAX or TANDEM.
    Any info, similarities to other languages etc. would be gratefully
    received. If anyone has done any conversions then I'd really like
    to hear from you. It's very early days in this sale but
    forewarned is forearmed.
    
    
    Thanks

125.1I wrote a compiler for KARL!CSSE32::SIEBOLDThomas M. Siebold -- Dollar's and SenseThu Jan 22 1987 09:4218
                                 -< CARL/KARL >-

Well, during 1977 to 1978 I wrote a compiler for a language called
KARL as my masters. This was at the university of Karlsruhe, West
Germany. The language name stands for KARL = KArlsruhe Register
Language. It is (was) a language to describe hardware at the
register transfer level. It looked much like PASCAL. The inventor
is Mr. Hartenstein now at the University of Kaiserslautern. If
your KARL is the same as the one I worked on, then I believe it
has been enhanced for sure in the meantime.
I still have my theses, but no other material regarding this language.

Hope this helps!

Regards
	Thomas
