[cctalk] More ALGOL-68

[Mark Kahrs via cctalk]

I remember circa 1977 CMU had a PDP-11 compiler for '68 with an extensive

I presume the sources are lost.

Peter Hibbard was the guy responsible if I recall.

FWIW, there is one clearly pictured in their 2023 tour photo album 
(https://app.photobucket.com/u/WMBT/a/095880e5-c73f-4b8c-ae16-a833b765a209/p/caee04d7-c7e4-41a5-98eb-35ce31bb77e5),
 followed by pictures of D-2, D-3, D-5, etc.

You could contact https://www.wmbt.org/ to see if they have a Bosch or Sony DEC 
to read the tapes.
