Offended Italian salami - in any case, that's the impression Simoni gives me. Somehow it seems to be missing for him that his times are probably over.

The source code for UCSD-Pascal is free - for fans of old languages and old operating systems. Oh man, that was the first Pascal environment I hacked on at school almost 24 years ago ...

PL/1 for GCC - for fans of old languages.

Theory for cloaking devices - Invisiprims for RL ... (SL-Insider-Joke, sorry)
