                 u$>$Forum$<$}/{u$>$} section, describes a situation in
                 North Africa and the Middle East where a programmer
                 must have command of the English language besides
                 programming skills. That situation appears to hold for
                 all developing nations. But this necessity, created
                 because software is based on the English language, may
                 have these disadvantages: (1) Programming is problem
                 solving and forcing a programmer to think in a language
                 that is not native to him, in which he does not think
                 fluently, creates another obstacle to good programming.
                 (2) The number of available technicians are seriously
                 limited to those individuals in a developing country
                 who speak English or at least enough of that language
                 to qualify for a position. A large number of ``people''
                 resources are disqualified in this way. The panel will
                 address itself to these two assertions. Sufficient time
                 will be given as well for audience participation.
                 Especially welcome will be information concerning the
                 actual use of programming languages which are not based
                 on English grammar and vocabulary.",
