RE: Algol Front End

["Scott Robert Ladd" <scott at coyotegulch dot com>]

Tony,

A Fortran 95 project already exists, although it seems a bit moribund at the
moment:

http://g95.sourceforge.net/

As for other languages, I would be most interested in Modula-2, given that I
used that language extensively back in the 1980s. I know it had some
popularity in certain circles, especially in Europe.

PL/I continues to have its adherents; some guy has reimplemented some of the
C++ and Fortran code on my web site in PL/I. I know it was popular in
certain government and Russian sectors.

COBOL is... well, COBOL. ;) I made lots of money in COBOL way back when... I
don't know if anyone is really hot for a free compiler in a Unix
environment.

Subject: Algol Front End


I am interested in doing a front end project for one of the following
languages list on your project page.
	Algol 60, Algol 68, PL/I, Cobol, Fortran 90, Delphi, Modula 2, Modula 3,
RPG,

I am leaning toward Algol 60 and/or 68, but I will not start before I hear
from you.  If you can help me find a "definitive" reference on either Algol
version, I can start.

I can also work on documentation similar to the "TOY language" front-end
tutorial.

Please let me know if this is worth while for you.

Thanks,
Tony Stratton
