Description: An Algol 60 interpreter
Algol 60 is the ancestor to most contemporary programming languages.
It has been described by one of its designers, Edsger Dijkstra,
as "a great improvement on many of its successors". The main attraction
of this language is its historical importance.
.
The present package contains a simple interpreted reimplementation
of the Algol 60 language, "Made for fun and call-by-name."
