Yerk

    (After Yerkes Observatory) An object-oriented
   language based on a Forth Kernel with some major
   modifications.  It was originally known as Neon, developed
   and sold as a product by Kriya Systems from 1985 to 1989.
   Several people at The University of Chicago have maintained
   Yerk since its demise as a product.  Because of possible
   trademark conflict they named it Yerk, which is not an acronym
   for anything, but rather stands for Yerkes Observatory, part
   of the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics at U of C.

   Version 3.62.
