Talk:Focal (HP-41)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There was also a DEC language called FOCAL:

From:Focal

FOCAL, an interpretive language comparable to BASIC, was available on all models of the family, including the PDP-5 and PDP-8/S. Versions of FOCAL run under OS/8, P?S/8 and other systems, and there were many special purpose overlays for FOCAL developed by DEC and by various users. DEC's later FOCAL releases for the PDP-8 included code to deliberately introduce subtle bugs when run on a DCC 112 computer! Various versions of FOCAL are available from:

Is there already a listing for the DEC Focal?

Yes, See FOCAL. I agree there should be a disambig page.
