I remember circa 1977 CMU had a PDP-11 compiler for '68 with an extensive
runtime component.
I presume the sources are lost.
Peter Hibbard was the guy responsible if I recall.
8:12 p.m.
One of the giants of that era, Niklaus Wirth, passed away on New Years
Day, six weeks before his 90th birthday.
He became disillusioned with the directions that Algol 68 was going. He
designed Algol W as a competitor. Algol W became Pascal.
