[HECnet] Thrashing about...

[Keith Halewood]

Yes I did see it. It was the starting point for trying to contact Altran. I also note that the version of Algol68RS that is part of Ella (translating to C) does not include formatted transput. In looking through some of the code generated, it seems not as efficient managing the heap as the VMS version was.

Part of the request for the VMS version is because the runtime support was pretty good and even the VMS debugger was ok with it.

If I have to implement anything myself, the danger is I’ll do something criminal like start developing Algol68.NET ☺

I’d still like VAX/VMS Algol68RS, VAXLisp and Bliss32…. because, well, just because.

While not VAX/VMS Algol68RS, have you seen this website?
http://algol68.sourceforge.net

Also, Algol-10 and AlgolW information can be found on my PDP-10 webpage, curtesy of Ronald Tatum, many years ago.

Does anyone happen to know if the sourcecode for AlgolW exists?
