WTF? Since when does Algol 60 store local variables on a heap. Note that the original wiki article does not mention the heap.

I'm not sure why you think I am asking you to learn a new language. If you are not sure what the Algol 60 code for the "man or boy test" actually does, and (not unreasonably) don't want to have to learn Algol 60 to find out, then there are implementations of the test in 72 other languages (including C and C++) on the Rosetta Code page: http://secure-web.cisco.com/1bC0_QAEYGYJRvCgWOUCWiO6Dk7sl_MyLtKRggLYC18Z7bNH6Xe_hqJ8ngjjVwuV2-_thRmF7SaHB0FRFyUc8nINzDvkmPNT2X1jb5quCkn6ZauJqJW-OTofedRUN5mVeyDhnhRTd8-BaCKAfemWhXfrWWe7E-H0gCWX4WwRHplt-q5O0nfguyrvaJ083-Dih-QHkL6ZIeawsP3t5pSxIaZcx2b5tbddxf05CHBXm-NUTzOQit9hwsXdaiBaqDGJkXFGeLbZzQptnL9LFGF9ZTEiWBysE6h5eMe5uWElyEpi2RHC9vwOGDxXupzS66DY9Pfwh7G9Ult1NtGv5Pe9w0ootN8FWSevXsqFteAe9d4SpaQ2JzXpd1LVcK6bt4MPmB5fjo5wdEyyD8IhUevjipiNYuo7i_sJcQF1Ud-3cu99LJ3bCnYkedFLJaLxRU0Yz/http%3A%2F%2Frosettacode.org%2Fwiki%2FMan_or_boy_test -- Martin Dr Martin Ward | Email: mar...@gkc.org.uk | http://www.gkc.org.uk G.K.Chesterton site: http://www.gkc.org.uk/gkc | Erdos number: 4
