M Campaign
The purpose of this page to make M better known. One approach is to ensure that this programming language is found in search engines, encyclopedias and other sources of reference. When such a lack is found, this page acts as a control center from where we encourage you to write to the company that handles the product so that they consider setting aside a few bytes for a description of this language.
If you find other sources that you feel should have an entry on M, drop us an e-mail with as many details as possible. We’ll take it on from there. Likewise if you find references to M on the net, please send us a little note. We would like to mention these places.

Hi,
I tried looking up the programming language M in your online reference and was very disappointed to find that there is no such entry for this language, which, after 30 years is still alive and kicking.
Could you please consider adding this language to your list. For a list of some of the web sites that carry information about M, please check Yahoo at http://www.yahoo.com /Computers_and_Internet/Programming_Languages/M___MUMPS/.
If you would like more information on M, feel free to drop by the newsgroup comp.lang.mumps where I am sure all your questions will be answered.
Thanks
