In a message dated 01-20-99, Andrew Grillet said to David Noon about "APL2
for OS/2"

Hi Andrew,

AG>I suspected I was not opening myself up for months of work. My suggested
AG>project for an ICL1900 emulator did not get much further. Shame really - 
AG>I would have got an Algol68 compiler out of it!

But that would have been ALGOL 68-R, the Royal Radar Establishment compiler
from 25+ years ago. The OCCL compiler for OS/2 is much nicer than that.
Besides which, it is _genuine_ ALGOL 68, not a variant.

I think I will cook up some ALGOL 68 code this weekend, after I have done my
tax return, just for you. Ye olde Gaussian elimination, perhaps?

Regards

Dave
