UK Defence Research Agency's ALGOL 68RS (algol68toc) is available from sourceforge, It now generates C. The interpreter Algol68G is also available, is easier to use, and a list snippets can be found at http://rosettacode.org/wiki/User:NevilleDNZ http://rosettacode.org/wiki/User:NevilleDNZ To download Linux's Algol68 Compiler & Interpreter: * http://sourceforge.net/projects/algol68 http://sourceforge.net/projects/algol68
