That would be neat, indeed. Where did that one come from? I remember a well regarded Algol68 subset compiler from the Royal Radar Establishment in the UK. Don't remember what machine(s) it targeted. There's an Algol68g (GPL-licensed open source implementation). I haven't tried it yet. I think the CDC 6000 Algol 68 is still around somewhere. That one was created in Holland. paul
