Try http://freespeech.sourceforge.net/overflow.html
There is some (outdated) doc.

As said before, Overflow is complementary to the rest of Piper. At first, the 
goal was not to design a VPL, it just evolved this way. The idea was to make it 
simple to do image and signal processing. Currently, most "features" you 
would expect from a language are there: conditions, loops, functions/arguments. 
The features it has now are features that are/were useful to us (the GUI was the 
last part being written). 

The main thing to know about it is that it works by "pulling" on data, and not 
the other way. We currently have "toolboxes" for the following things: 
speech/signal processing (both real-time and batch), image processing, neural 
networks and vector quantization. You can contact me if you need more info.
