There?s DECUS ALGOL, which is essentially a PDP-11 version of Burroughs Extended Algol.
It generates bytecode which even looks somewhat like B5500 machine code. I still have a
copy, though I need to do some work to find the correct sources and build procedure for
the runtime support code.

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.
