CuG #%* POLYGLOT - a program in seven languages 15 February 1991 *+Ex=
CuG #%* *+Ex=
CuG #%* Written by Kevin Bungard, Peter Lisle, and Chris Tham *+Ex=
CuG #%* *+Ex=
CuG #%* We have successfully run this program using the following: *+Ex=
CuG #%* ANSI COBOL: MicroFocus COBOL85 (not COBOL74) *+Ex=
CuG #%* ISO Pascal: Turbo Pascal (DOS & Mac), Unix PC, *+Ex=
CuG #%* AIX VS Pascal *+Ex=
CuG #%* ANSI Fortran: Unix f77, AIX VS Fortran *+Ex=
CuG #%* ANSI C (lint free): Microsoft C, Unix CC, GCC, Turbo C++, *+Ex=
CuG #%* Think C (Mac) *+Ex=
CuG #%* PostScript: GoScript, HP/Adobe cartridge, *+Ex=
CuG #%* Apple LaserWriter *+Ex=
CuG #%* Shell script: gnu bash, sh (SysV, BSD, MKS), ksh *+Ex=
CuG #%* 8086 machine language: MS-DOS 2.00, 3.03, 4.01, 5.00 beta *+Ex=
CuG #%* VPix & DOS Merge (under unix) *+Ex=
CuG #%* SoftPC (on a Mac), MKS shell *+Ex=
CuG #%* *+Ex=
CuG #%* Usage: *+Ex=
CuG #%* 1. Rename this file to polyglot.[cob|pas|f77|c|ps|sh|com] *+Ex=
CuG #%* 2. Compile and/or run with appropriate compiler and *+Ex=
CuG #%* operating system *+Ex=
CuG #%* *+Ex=
CuG #%* Notes: *+Ex=
CuG #%* 1. We have attempted to use only standard language features. *+Ex=
CuG #%* Without the -traditional flag gcc will issue a warning. *+Ex=
CuG #%* *+Ex=
CuG #%* 2. This text is a comment block in all seven languages. *+Ex=
CuG #%* *+Ex=
CuG #%* 3. When run as a .COM file with MS-DOS it makes certain *+Ex=
CuG #%* (not unreasonable) assumptions about the contents of *+Ex=
CuG #%* the registers. *+Ex=
CuG #%* *+Ex=
CuG #%* 4. When transfering from Unix to DOS make sure that a LF *+Ex=
CuG #%* is correctly translated into a CR/LF. *+Ex=
