ALGOL 68S(ID:748/alg047)

Simplified version of ALGOL 68 


A subset of ALGOL 68 allowing simpler compilation. Intended mainly for numerical computation. Authorised by IFIP WG2.1 according to Informal Introduction to Algol

Rewritten in BLISS for the PDP- 11, and later in Pascal.
Available as shareware from Charles Lindsey
Version 2.3 for Sun3's under OS4.x and Atari under GEMDOS (or potentially other machines supported by the Amsterdam Compiler Kit).

         This Survey has been restricted to implementations which you can actually obtain and use.   Each of them has an identifiable person or organisation responsible for its maintenance, and most have been used on at least one site other than that where it was developed.
         Most of the column headings are self-explanatory.  "Deviation" means that, it  is  possible to  write some  program,  valid and  with defined meaning both in  the given implementation  and according to  the Revised Report,  which will provide results different  from those defined by the Revised Report. Under "Money", "nominal" usually means under $200, "yes" means a realistic commercial rate.  "MC Test" means that it has been tested using the MC Test Set (see AB 44.1.2) and that the implemented claims it ran correctly.  In all cases, the people listed in the last column should be able to provide further information.
