There was the Algol derivative used mainly by the British armed
forces. Coral66 was the name. I have a manual for it.

The /780 where I cut my VMS teeth (VMS 3.3 or so) had help for CORAL66,
but I don't recall it being installed.   Did DEC have a compiler as a
product for a while?   It's not on the earliest SPL I have.   

I'd love to find a copy of a VMS CORAL66 compiler somewhere.   Would be
interesting to find a JOVIAL compiler as well.
