I am teaching a course on Comparative Programming Languages and would like to include in the course some actual programming in a functional language. (Preferably one which handles bottom correctly, allowing infinite objects, unlike FP, but FP would be okay too). I am searching for a very simple purely functional language, or one with a simple subset, easy to learn, with an implementation that will run on a Vax11 under VMS or a Dec2020 under Tops20. If anyone has such a language and would appreciate (or at least not mind) the exposure, please contact me either via {decvax, allegra}!watmath!watrose!watbun!cbostrum or phone: 705 675 1151 x294 or x279) Thank you, Calvin Ostrum Laurentian University, Sudbury ps: the course is this term, so i am interested in getting the implementation operative by early march.

#R:utcsrgv:-303900:hpcnoa:4000001:000:431 hpcnoa!rdg Jan 8 17:13:00 1984 I have a pascal program which simulates most of the FP language defined by Backus in his Turing award Lecture. It would have to be modified slightly to run on VMS; I believe it handles bottom correctly. I would be willing to discuss giving you a copy; You may call me at 303-226-3800 x2048 if you are interested. Rob Gardner {ihnp4!hpfcla,hp-pcd,csu-cs}!hpcnoa!rdg Hewlett Packard 3404 E.
