275.0. "HELP! re ALGOL on RISC?" by SHIPS::SPIEGAL_D (Dave in UK (DTN 782 2982)) Wed Apr 04 1990 13:24

    Help!
    
    On failing to find an ALGOL-68 NOTES Conference I resort to posting
    this question in the hope of a fast reply??
    
    Can anyone let me know what plans there are (if any) for ALGOL-68 to be
    made available on ULTRIX/RISC???
         
    Why on earth am I interested in ALGOL-68, I hear you say; well I'm
    NOT but the Customer for whose business we are bidding IS!
    
    A rapid response would be appreciated.
    
    With thanks in advance,
    
    			Dave.

    Digital doesn't offer an Algol 68 product at the moment on any
    platform, although System Designers in the UK do market a 68 compiler
    for VAX/VMS.  I don't know whether a Digital Algol 68 product is
    planned, but I somehow doubt it.
    
    If Algol 68 is a firm requirement, and it's a UK customer, maybe you
    could put them in touch with RSRE, who have a portable Algol 68
    compiler which they've implemented on several machines (it's the
    front-end for the VMS compiler marketted by SD).
