This was written by a Dr Roger Abbot (hence called RogAlgol). I gather it was subsequently ported to CP/M. Some links are: http://pdp8.de/download/RogAlgol.pdf http://www.angelfire.com/biz/rhaminisys/algol60.html http://www.dbit.com/pub/pdp8/nickel/langs/algol/ascii/ Regards, Graham Hi, in the 1974 timeframe, I used an implementation of Algol-60 on an 8k PDP8/E.

Many are using it to run either vintage programs or new code. If someone thinks it contains a "critical error", please report it to me so it can be corrected. The quality of open source software depends on useful feedback of its users. Thank you, Marcel Algol 68 Genie is in continuous development.

Try to make new compiler for Algol family. Algol 68 genie has critical errors, so you have chance to make good compiler. Old compilers must died. Try to make new compiler for Algol family.

For completeness, I'll probably add GNU Algol/Marst and the NASE Algol 60 interpreter. Thanks very much for mentioning them. Paul John,

GNU Algol, otherwise called Marst, is a full implementation of Algol 60 (the modified report) that translates it into C, and there is the NASE Algol 60 interpreter as well.
