According to the documentation:

a68g - Algol 68 Genie, an Algol 68 compiler-interpreter

Not sure what that concludes, if anything.

DESCRIPTION
Algol 68 Genie (Algol68G) is an Algol 68 compiler-interpreter. It can be used for executing Algol 68 programs or
scripts. Algol 68 is a rather lean orthogonal general-purpose language that is a beautiful means for denoting
algorithms. Algol 68 was designed as a general-purpose programming language by IFIP Working Group 2.1 (Algorith   
mic Languages and Calculi) that has continuing responsibility for Algol 60 and Algol 68.

Algol 68 Genie and its documentation can be obtained from
