Because certain computers had hardware instructions that ALGOL could not use, then ALGOL is not a good programming language for mathematics. I don't understand the logic, because for ANY language, there will be machines that have instructions that cannot be used. -- -Greg Hennessy, University of Virginia USPS Mail: Astronomy Department, Charlottesville, VA 22903-2475 USA Internet: gsh7w@virginia.edu UUCP: ...!uunet!virginia!gsh7w
