Many moons ago (1978/79 as I recall) I wrote a Simula program that converted IBM Algol 60 into Simula. It dealt with almost all aspects of the conversion, and was used to convert the then current version of the NAG library in Algol into Simula. It was done mostly as a feasibility exercise, but modulo some compiler errors in the then Ibm Simula compiler it worked correctly. Since the work was done at Newcastle, Ron Kerr may be able to dredge it up from archives there, or I can attempt to retrieve it from a tape that I have. I have no idea what the current status of the Nag Librarty is in Algol 60, but if it or any similar library exists in Algol 60, then my conversion program should enable at least a prototype version to be generated in Simula. -- Peter King, Computer Science Department JANET: pjbk@uk.ac.hw.cs Heriot-Watt University ARPA: pjbk@cs.hw.ac.uk Riccarton, Edinburgh EH14 4AS UUCP: ..!uknet!cs.hw.ac.uk!pjbk Phone: (+44) 31 451 3433 Fax: (+44) 31 451 3431
