Hey, when can I get ahold of a usable (or even good) Algol68 compiler.
I've been waiting 16 years already; it's about time that people stop
saying how great it is and make the compilers available.

I mean, I like C, sort of; it's a big improvement on Fortran and Pascal,
and probably also on Ada (which I may get to use in my old age); but
it does have a few minor problems here and there.  C'mon, don't just
keep saying how good it is, let's see the compilers.

Is someone maybe writing a portable Algol68-to-C translator and a set
of run-time routines, all in the public domain?

Drool, drool, slobber, drool....
