> Gaak... Looks almost like PL/360.. ;) Only superficially, I think. As I recall PL/360, it uses a lot of one or two character operators to represent the instructions. ALP uses regular machine instructions and macros, with the addition of the special control structures (which generate only branching instructions). It's probably the Algol-like syntax that makes you think of PL/360. I didn't care for PL/360 either. :-) By the way, one of the advantages of ALP over a macro package is that, being a preprocessor, it can (and does) have control structures for macro definitions too. They generate AIFs and ANOPs.
