Ah Algol, loved it in the late 60's early 70's. I smile when
people talk about languages and never mention Algol.

I worked at Burroughs where the O/S was written in Algol,
the hardware was stack based, etc. etc.

In fact you and to a very very special customer to have
access to an assembler.

Sorry I digress .. back to the present
