Interesting!  For bonus points, the badge "This site made with Claris
Home Page."  Hadn't thought of that old software in many years.  How

This Web site is devoted to Kvikkalkul, the secret programming language of the Swedish Navy. In October 1994, the language was described in a Usenet message by an anonymous programmer who used Kvikkalkul in 1957 to write submarine weapons guidance programs and an accounting program.

Some Kvikkalkul resources are no longer available. Your help is needed to keep this language from being lost to future generations of computer programmers.
