Burroughs 205 Programming Languages

Bob Kubic's note below made me think that I should add a page to the Datatron site about the various languages that we used to program the 205. If anyone has suggested additions to this list, please add a comment to this post or e-mail me with them.

I'll be working on this over the next couple of weeks along with a page that features the package design so well-illustrated by Bob's photos.

205 programming languages that I am aware of include:

• Machine Language
• Shell Symbolic Assembly Program (Shell Oil)
  
• The Burroughs Algebraic Compiler for the 205 (Don Knuth)
  
• Datacode 1 (Saul Rosen)
  
• Dumbo (Bob Kubic)
• Machine Language Simulator (Tom Sawyer)

That last one was my own contribution, utilized at the University of Portland for student programs.
