I do, but I never used it. I did have a play with BCPL that it was developed
from though. I had, well still have, a copy of BCPL on ROM for my Amstrad CPC
6128. I think B was then developed into C, etc. I've also used APL, which isn't
listed on there, as well as the bottom two options, Forth and Rexx (Rexx mostly
on OS/2 and IBM OfficeVision / PROFs rather than the Amiga version oddly).
