[HECnet] ALGOL 68 RS?

[Keith Halewood]

That’s the one.
I’ve been in contact with the two companies that took over various aspects/projects from RSRE - DSTL and Altran UK - but the enquiries dwindled into silence as have several requests from universities I knew had the compiler back in the day, including my own Liverpool.

I haven’t quite lost hope but I’m getting there.
