Did you try contacting that particular author?  His github info
indicates it should run under Cygwin on Windows or Linux.

https://github.com/smcharg/B5500  is the one that I have used - helped a
tiny bit with identifying some issues using extended Algol code I wrote
in 1969.

The repository is private, however, and I don't see an email address for
him on Github.  I'm not comfortable sharing his contact info without his
permission.

Software, recovered by my buddy Paul Pierce (or is at least available
from his website)
