Does anyone know of any ALGOL-68 compilers that are implemented in C?
Are any of these inexpensive?  Are any of these portable to UNIX?

I tried to learn ALGOL-68 years ago, but when our CDC computer's 
OS was upgraded, we couldn't get the thing to work anymore.  No,
we didn't have it under a maintaince contract:  We were badly burned
by CDC when we payed big bucks for a "life time" contract for a
SIMULA-67 and an ALGOL-68 compiler only to have the branch of CDC
from which we got these two packages drop their support and tell us
we had to strike up a new contractual agreement with CDC Norway!!
But all that is history now because as of December 31, 1988, CDC will
be history on this campus!
