Dear Eric S. Raymond,


In 1994 you wrote in the news article
http://compilers.iecc.com/comparch/article/94-09-125
the following sentences:


> POSSIBLE FUTURE PROJECTS
>
> plankalkul (Eric S. Raymond)
> An implementation of the very first high-level computer language
> ever, Zuse's Plankalkul for the Z-3. I'll write this if I get
> enough docs on the language to do it, and Matthias Neeracher is
> working on that




In the meantime our work group implemented plankalkül, more infos
under http://www.zib.de/zuse/English_Version/index.html


A PK-Editor - implemeted as a java applet - can be tested online under
http://www.zib.de/zuse/English_Version/Inhaltsverzeichnis/Simulationen/Plankalkuel/Editor/pk.html


The programs can be directly used in the PK-Compiler (also a java-applet) under
http://www.zib.de/zuse/English_Version/Inhaltsverzeichnis/Simulationen/Plankalkuel/Compiler/plankalk.html
