Hold your horses ...

(occur "lang=[-[:alnum:]]+")

  lang=mas     Masai                                  language       
  lang=fr-CA   French as used in Canada               language+region
  lang=es-419  Spanish as used in Latin America       language+region
  lang=zh-Hans Chinese written with Simplified script language+script [1]

Notable software from the French speaking Canadians include,
according to the COMP-HIST file:

  BASICOIS - French BASIC dialect/translation, probably from Quebec [2]

(It's only "Québec" in French.)

Anyone knows when, even approximately so, this software was
written and distributed?
