I assure you Chuck, I do know the original B5500 ALGOL having written my
first program on one.
For those of you who might be interested, I sent a listing of the B6700
ALGOL compiler source code to the CHM.
Did it end up online somewhere? I did find a copy of the B6500 ESPOL compiler online
recently.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Burroughs
extensions to ALGOL to
optimise|ize the use of the native string instructions.
Did Algol come after the hardware? I always thought of the hardware as having been
customized for their Algol, but admittedly I don?t actually know which is chicken and
which is egg.
