[cctalk] Re: What constitutes a dead computer language

Another dead language is FPL, Foxboro Process Language. It was a BASIC-like multitasking/scheduling monitor for data acquisition and real time control that ran on the PDP-11/15 in 1973. I scanned this sales brochure that describes the flavour of it: https://archive.org/details/fox210minisystem When I recovered the FOX system I found some paper tapes which I dumped a few years ago. Unfortunately no FOXBORO labelled ones with the FPL development system per se, but one of them was a complete 28KW core dump of the running system that quite possibly has the FPL kernel along with the steelworks oxygen plant monitoring application on it. I've not looked at it since then though, would be better left for someone who can knowledgeably analyse them and see if there's anything interesting.
