Hmm. IIRC this is INTERCAL. Just checkout its RM at
<URL:http://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/intercal-man/>. :)

Hmm, wasn't that the language where you have the no-op keyword PLEASE
and the matter how often you have to use to form a valid program text
is compiler-dependent or such...?

>or "not procname;"(negating call to proc) etc. etc.    ?

Not sure. Doesn't ring any bells. I doubt this is INTERCAL. Perhaps
it's "False"?

(Perhaps you'll find it somewhere here:
<URL:http://www.catseye.mb.ca/esoteric>,
<URL:http://members.tripod.com/rkusnery/weird.html> or
<URL:http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/Station/2266/tarpit/tarpit=

Especially note the reference to "Magenta". ;)
