My experience of Algol 68 was for my computer programming course in Uni
(Hull, 1978). We submitted a pile of cards and got fanfold in return. No
contact with the actual run system. ICL 1900 running George iV iirc.

That is the DARK side of computing, Real computers are found in the
BATCAVE and can even run ALGOL 58. (batman 1967) :)

Did ALGOL 68 have separate compilation, or was all one big Program like
Pascal?
C has the advantage of separate compilation and include files.
