A database retrieval language I used to work with in the Air Force was
known as VIRUS - Versatile Information Retrieval and Update System.
I've also written a set of macros for the Microsoft Assembler that implement
a number of structured programming constructs to MASM - IF/THEN/ELSE,
DO WHILE, etc. I affectionately refer to these macros as SPAM - Structured
Programming Assembler Macros.
