know how good/bad it might be. I think it came from the DECUS library.

Algol 60, that is. It was used as the inspiration
by just about
everything that followed
I've just remembered that the Algol (probably Algol-60, but the manual
doesn't say) interpreter used for the programming languages course at MIT was
adapted from the Delphi (a homebrew PDP-11 OS used at MIT) version, to a
version that would run under Unix V6. So it should be runnable under any
PDP-11 emulator.
I _think_ I have that on those backup tapes I'm trying to get read, so maybe
someday (it's a pity none of that MIT Unix stuff seems to have escaped into
preservation, at least, so far) it will be widely available.
They had a BCPL compiler for the PDP-11 that ran under Unix, too. Ditto about
'on the tape'.
