COMAL

COMAL (COMmon Algoritmic Language) is a computer programming language developed in Denmark by Benedict Loefstedt and Borge Christensen in 1973. It was really a mixture of the BASIC and Pascal programming languages, which was meant to introduce structured programming elements in an environment where BASIC would normally be used. The "COMAL 80 PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE" report contained the definition of the language.

COMAL was available for:

• The BBC Microcomputer
• The Tiki 100
• The Commodore 64
• The IBM PC

There is also an Open Source implementation of Comal for Unix, Dos and Windows: OpenComal, see http://www.josvisser.nl/opencomal.
