Ada [wrote a windows DLL wrapping an interval arithmetic library],
assembler (8080, Z80, 80x86) [wrote various and libraries],
BASIC (CB80, WordBASIC, Visual BASIC, VBScript) [assorted tools over
many years, plus COM DLLs. A lot of the VBScript is on the blog],
C [assorted DLL and COM DLL],
COBOL [learned but (sadly) never got to use. I still play with
OpenCOBOL from time to time],
dBase (II, III, IV, Clipper) [still do a bit of Clipper maintenance
programming],
Delphi [assorted COM DLL wrappers for, e.g. libuninum, libiconv],
Euphoria [various tools, some for cc:Mail],
Fortran [array and matrix manipulation library as COM DLL],
Javascript [recent Adwords-related application],
Perl [assorted wraps of modules using ActiveState's PDK],
PHP [an extension in C for Linux and a wrapper in pure PHP for a
Blowfish encoding application],
Protium [writing plumbing code and testing],

I have fiddled with a number of other languages. I'm also a researcher
for HOPL <http://hopl.murdoch.edu.au>
I've been programming since 1977. I've developed software for CP/M, MP/
M, DOS, Windows, Linux, and Mac (Classic and X). I work for a small
research and development company based in Perth WA Australia.
Kind regards,
Bruce.
