I'm probably not the one you're referring to; In college
I was being taught Algol-W which appears (if my memory has
not completely failed me) to have been some "superset" of
Algol-60...
Y'know, I sometimes wonder if it's still possible to get
PL/C or WATFOR (WATFIV) or even (gasp!) SPASM.
Am I showing my age yet? Where have all the anxiety-
producing languages for the s/370 gone?
(I even remember WYLBUR and even "CALL-OS 360". TSO was
still a fantasy in those days; The closest we got to real
timesharing was TSS-8 and TSOS on a Spectra-70/46.)
