-                       CUPL and CORC for UNIX
-               by Eric S. Raymond <esr@thyrsus.com>
-
-This directory contains sources for cupl, a UNIX implementation of CUPL, the
-Cornell University Programming Language.  It also interprets CORC, the 
-Cornell Computing Language, the immediate ancestor of CUPL.
-
-CUPL was an early (1966) teaching language implemented as a batch compiler on
-the IBM/360 at Cornell University.  It was descended from an earlier (1962)
-experimental language called CORC (CORnell Compiler), which was in turn derived
-from PL/1.
-
-CUPL has only one scalar type, a long floating-point real corresponding to C
-double.  It supports vector and matrix aggregates, and has operations
-specialized for matrix calculations.
-
-CORC is a near-subset of CUPL.  There are some minor differences in keywords.
-In CORC, the statement GO TO <block> is equivalent to CUPL's GO TO <block> END.
-
-The cupl implementation is a Retrocomputing Museum project.  The
-Retrocomputing Museum <http://www.catb.org/retro/retromuseum.html>
-revives long-dead languages for the benefit of students and historians
-of programming-language design.  CUPL was chosen as a representative
-of a significant class of mid-1960s teaching languages.

-
-For each .cupl or .corc file, there is a corresponding test file used for
-regression-testing of the interpreter.  The interpreter should pass
-all these tests.

-
-                       Known problems and bugs:
-
-* The code chrestomathy in the CUPL manual didn't include any matrix algebra
-  examples.  Because of this, the matrix algebra facilities are incomplete. 
-  ALLOCATE, INV and DET are not implemented.  Neither are subscript/slice
-  references or assignments.  Nor are matrix WRITEs or READs. Nor are the
-  implemented matrix facilities at all well-tested.
-
-* For true verismilitude, a program listing should be output before results.
-  This is trickier to do in C than it sounds; the lexer doesn't know about
-  line boundaries.
-
-* GOTO blabel END always goes to the end of the current PERFORM block, even
-  if the label is that of an enclosing block.
-
-* Because the cupl interpreter also interprets CORC, the CUPL keywords
-  BEGIN, DEC, DECREASE, EQL, GEQ, GTR, INC, INCREASE, INT, LSS, NEQ, NOTE,
-  REPEAT, TITLE, UNTIL, and $ are also reserved words in CORC.
