In a few weeks I'll be giving a talk and demonstration of Flex to a technically
well-informed but otherwise unfamiliar audience. I can certainly fill the time
with rich technical details and descriptions of things like Algol 68 and the
PERQ, but I'd like also to have more to say about the circumstances that
brought Flex about and the ways people encountered it at the time. I'm also
hoping to gather information that might lead to a public release of Flex
someday (another thing I've been working on behind the scenes).

Will you also include in your talk, running Algol 68 on modern machines?
Has there been any improvements to Algol 68?
Ben.
