I know this is off topic for this group, but in the space of a few
days I have received 50+ requests for the seven language program that I
mentioned. So, here it is (plus a four language one that I have):

Here's my contribution.

(* /*

* This file is correct input for:
* sh, cc, pc, f77
*/ main(program)) { puts("hello world!"); /*
*) program main(output);begin writeln('hello world!')end. {
write( *, '("hello world!")')
end
*/ return &program; }

Who's got a source using more languages (in parallel)? Can anyone extend
my example?

A little while ago some people were talking about polyglot programs in
rec.puzzles, these are programs that are written in several languages.
We thought it sounded like fun so we wrote this one.
Our friends suggested we should post it -- so here it is, let us know
what you think.

CuG #%* *+Ex=
CuG #%* Written by Kevin Bungard, Peter Lisle, and Chris Tham *+Ex=
CuG #%* *+Ex=
CuG #%* We have successfully run this program using the following: *+Ex=
CuG #%* ANSI COBOL: MicroFocus COBOL85 (not COBOL74) *+Ex=
CuG #%* ISO Pascal: Turbo Pascal (DOS & Mac), Unix PC, *+Ex=
CuG #%* AIX VS Pascal *+Ex=
CuG #%* ANSI Fortran: Unix f77, AIX VS Fortran *+Ex=
CuG #%* ANSI C (lint free): Microsoft C, Unix CC, GCC, Turbo C++, *+Ex=
CuG #%* Think C (Mac) *+Ex=
CuG #%* PostScript: GoScript, HP/Adobe cartridge, *+Ex=
CuG #%* Apple LaserWriter *+Ex=
CuG #%* Shell script: gnu bash, sh (SysV, BSD, MKS), ksh *+Ex=
CuG #%* 8086 machine language: MS-DOS 2.00, 3.03, 4.01, 5.00 beta *+Ex=
CuG #%* VPix & DOS Merge (under unix) *+Ex=
CuG #%* SoftPC (on a Mac), MKS shell *+Ex=
CuG #%* *+Ex=
CuG #%* Usage: *+Ex=
CuG #%* 1. Rename this file to polyglot.[cob|pas|f77|c|ps|sh|com] *+Ex=
CuG #%* 2. Compile and/or run with appropriate compiler and *+Ex=
CuG #%* operating system *+Ex=
CuG #%* *+Ex=
CuG #%* Notes: *+Ex=
CuG #%* 1. We have attempted to use only standard language features. *+Ex=
CuG #%* Without the -traditional flag gcc will issue a warning. *+Ex=
CuG #%* *+Ex=
CuG #%* 2. This text is a comment block in all seven languages. *+Ex=
CuG #%* *+Ex=
CuG #%* 3. When run as a .COM file with MS-DOS it makes certain *+Ex=
CuG #%* (not unreasonable) assumptions about the contents of *+Ex=
CuG #%* the registers. *+Ex=
CuG #%* *+Ex=
CuG #%* 4. When transfering from Unix to DOS make sure that a LF *+Ex=
CuG #%* is correctly translated into a CR/LF. *+Ex=
