Hello all.
Here is a link to something I wrote - brief intro to Algol 68's background, a
nd how to run it on Windows - with a toy IDE as well.
This triggers a fuzzy memory of an Algol 68 compiler running on
MTS at the U of Alberta, circa 1980. ISTR Chris Thompson at UofA
Computing Services had a hand in its development.
Was this just a UofA thing? Did it escape to other MTS installations?
Did anyone use it to write substantial programs on MTS? Or was it
intended for Comp. Sci. teaching purposes?
