'''XPL0''' is essentially a cross between Pascal and C. It looks somewhat like Pascal but works more like C. It was originally created in 1976
by Peter J. R. Boyle, who designed it to run on a 6502 microprocessor as
an alternative to BASIC, which was the dominant language for personal
computers at the time. XPL0 is based on PL/0, an example compiler in the
book ''Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs'' by Niklaus Wirth. The first
XPL0 compiler was written in ALGOL
written in XPL0's syntax.
XPL0 has been implemented on more than a dozen processors, but
currently maintained for IBM-type PCs. Programs run under DOS and under versions of Windows that can still run DOS apps. Free, open-source versions of the
compilers (interpreted, assembly-code compiled, and optimizing) are
available from the official website: xpl0.org [http://www.xpl0.org/]. The 32-bit version of the compiler, XPLPX, was used for these Rosetta Code tasks.
