PROMAL is an interpreted C-like language from Systems Management Associates
for MS-DOS, Commodore 64, and Apple II.

PROgrammers Microapplication Language. "Easier to learn than Pascal, C or
FORTH." A single pass compiler designed for small computers with limited
memory, it generates extremely small, fast code. Includes a full-screen
editor and command shell. Compiler can compile to/from disk and memory.
PROMAL features simple syntax, no line numbers, long variable names,
functions and procedures with argument passing, real number type, arrays,
strings, pointer, built-in I/O library. Apple II and MS-DOS versions also
available. See Computer Language magazine, Mar 1986.
