MC's additions: 2006.01.16 Xasm 3.0.0, 2005 from Piotr Fusik

Revision : 2.0
Date.... : 2005-2-20

==============================================================
The goal is to give information about all available languages
for the Atari 8-bit computer. This information includes:
title, last version, author, date and a short description.
It would also be nice to know how to get it and where to get
more information (like reference cards, reviews and such).

==============================================================

There are quite a lot! To get some structure in this section it's
divided into the following categories;

        a) ASSEMBLER
        b) BASIC
        c) C
        d) PASCAL
        e) LISP
        f) FORTH
        g) PILOT
        h) LOGO
        i) All the rest

The following format is used:

    - Language titel (medium)
      version, year  : version, year
      author/company : author/company
      available..... : where/how to get it
      package....... : programs, documentation
      features...... : main features
      Description.

The question marks (?) indicate that more information is
required about that topic.
