Yes, I think it's an interesting little language.  I'm a nut for
programming languages anyway, and it makes me sad that OS-9 has so
few.  

Apparently the group.line line number system came from MUMPS.

Well, I'm better at writing games than at playing them (which isn't
saying much), so maybe.  A game in FOCAL is an interesting thought,
anyway.  I mean, I wrote an adventure game in PILOT once, so
anything's possible. ;-)
