215.0. "SIMPL language ?" by CSC32::S_HALL (Gimme a DEC PC & a bear with a radio) Wed Nov 30 1988 14:29

    Anyone ever heard of a language called SIMPL ?
    
    A customer recently inquired about it, and I can't find anything
    on it.  I don't think it's a Digital product, but any info
    you had on it (vendor, description, etc.) would be helpful...
    
    Thanks...

215.1CDC languagePLATA::HOLSTBill HolstWed Dec 07 1988 17:103
    Believe that it is CDC system language (Pascal superset).  I know
    someone here in Colo. Spgs. who worked on translators for this language
    to another dialect for CDC in the past.

    Hi,
    
    	thanks for the info.  I'm not sure this is the same thing.
    
    	The customer is running an application written in this
    	language running under UNIX.  Oh well.  I'll just 
    	dig a little deeper.
    
    	Thanks again !

215.3U of Maryland?SMURF::REEVESJon Reeves, ULTRIX compiler groupSat Jan 07 1989 22:377
    I've heard of at least 2 languages by that name; the first
    (historically) was a systems programming language University of
    Maryland developed for the Univac (later Sperry, now Unisys) 1100
    series.  If I look real hard I might be able to find a listing or
    2.  The second was, as far as I know, only a design exercise published
    in Byte a couple years back as a series of articles.  It's possible
    UMd has a UNIX version now.
