(was: Algol 68)

Hi Mike,

MF>Do you, by any chance, know of a CORAL 66 compiler for OS/2?

CORAL 66?? Blimey, there is a blast from the past!

That language was originally developed by ICI [yes, the chemical giant] many
years ago. I used to be a mathematician (and programmer) with ICI in the
1970's and we had CORAL 66 implemented on all sorts of platforms. It was
most ubiquitous on the PDP-11.

I have not heard of any port to OS/2, but you might care to contact ICI
Computer Services Division for a definitive answer. The last I knew they
were based at Millbank in London, just along the Thames from Parliament.

If they haven't ported it to OS/2, they should know if anybody else has.

Regards

Dave
