It's been a while since I posted my compilation of programming languages
available for Commodores. It now contains 180 entries covering most Commodore
8-bit machines.  The most current version of this list in HTML form is
available at <http://www.wimsey.com/~danf/cbm/languages.html>.  Please
contact me with your changes or comments about the list.

                           COMMODORE LANGUAGES LIST
                                       
  Compiled by Dan Fandrich
  
  November 30, 1995
  
   
   
   This list contains the programming languages available for Commodore
   8-bit computers. Many more languages are available for the C128's CP/M
   mode (see the SimTel collection for some), and still more
   cross-development languages are available for other platforms,
   however, these are not included in this list. Please send any
   additions or corrections to _dan@fch.wimsey.bc.ca_.
   
Legend

   
   
   A _$_ preceding the program name means it is commercial; a preceding
   _#_ means it is shareware; a preceding _?_ means the status is
   unknown; no symbol means it can be obtained for free.
   
   Within (parenthesis), a year is either a copyright year or an upper
   bound on the initial release date (such as the date of a magazine ad).
   The programmer's name and software company or companies are included
   if known.
   
   System abbreviations within [brackets] are the following:

   264       Plus/4, C16 or 116  (2 entries)
   C128      Commodore 128       (16 entries)
   C64       Commodore 64        (132 entries)
   C65       Commodore 65        (1 entry)
   PET       PET or CBM machine  (48 entries)
   SuperPET  SuperPET (MMF)      (4 entries)
   VIC       VIC-20              (25 entries)

   
   
   If the program is available on a ROM chip or cartridge, it is
   indicated with "ROM" or "cart" following the system type. A program
   which requires the GEOS graphical environment has "GEOS" following the
   system type. In many cases, the Commodore 64 version of a program
   available for another system has "-64" appended to the name.
   
   A URL is included (when known) to help obtain the freely available
   programs.
