Algol 68 Cambridge

S. Bourne and Mike Guy, Cambridge U 1975. Variant of ALGOL 68, allowing two-pass compilation. Ran on a virtual machine using "Zcode"

Ported to a DEC at Essex university via BCPL (ref Gardiner), to a TESLA 200 by J. Nadrchal Czechoslovakian Institute of Physics , Telefunken TR440 and TR445 and Vyber 205 by Klaus Hackenberg Ruhr-Universitat Bochum, Rechenzentrum

Used as the implementation language for the CHAOS OS for the CAP capability computer. Ported to IBM 360, VAX/VMS, several others.

for Cambridge original version
Additional features:
Automatic op:- for any op;
upto, downto and until in loop-clauses;
displacement operator (.-.-)
andf, orf and thef
separate compilation
scopes not checked
bounds in formal-declarers

Missing features:
no sema, no flex, no format, restricted transput

For Telefunken
improved transput, additional operations for vectors & matrices

For Tesla
no flex (except string), no union, no sema, no heap

Peter Craven of Algol Applications Ltd made a version of A68C that was interactive (did incremental compilation, permitted no forward referencing)
