<big> HPL </big> ─── (<u>H</u>oneywell <u>P</u>rogramming <u>L</u>anguage) was a subset of PL/I (similar to above) and was to be used for Honeywell's new computer (code name unknown) ─── it was never built, but from what I could glean from the specs, it would have used HPL as it's native [machine] language and seemed to have some of the characteristics of IBM's '''FS''' system (and apparently, suffered the same fate). <br><br><br>
<big> IBM 407 plugboard </big> ─── can't be many of us plugboard programmers left. I still have a tie-clip made from a small plug. <br><br><br>
<big> Kingston FORTRAN II </big> ─── (locally called FORTRAN 2.5) was for the IBM 1620 with a lot of FORTRAN IV capability. It supported floating point arithmetic even if the (optional) hardware feature for floating point wasn't installed. <br><br><br>
