Description:

The development of Algol played an important role in establishing computer science as an academic discipline. The SourceForge Algol68 project preserves and promotes Algol68 by making available open source Algol68 implementations and documentation. Currently, two implementations are available from this project: Algol68 Genie (a68g) is a recent checkout hybrid compiler-interpreter, written from scratch by Marcel van der Veer. It ranks among the most complete Algol68 implementations. It implements for example arbitrary precision arithmetic, complex numbers, parallel processing, partial parametrisation and formatted transput, as well as support for curses, regular expressions and sounds. It can be linked to GNU plotutils, the GNU scientific library and PostgreSQL. Algol68 Genie is free software released under GNUGPLv3. algol68toc is a port by Sian Mountbatten of those parts of vintage ALGOL68RS that were made available as ctrans with DRA Malvern's ELLA package. A notable unpublished part is formatted transput. Since ALGOL68RS was a one-pass compiler, algol68toc puts restrictions on Algol68. The components of algol68toc have multiple licenses that should be read carefully: it is open source software, but not all components are fully free.
