Thanks. I've never used it, but I ran into it when looking at the CMU PDP-11
ALGOL-68 implementation. I had some DECtapes of that code, only the runtime
library if I remember right. They seem to have disappeared, and I don't know
if that compiler has been preserved. Note that ALGOL-68 is an entirely
different language than ALGOL-60; in a number of areas it served as inspiration
for C++.
