GNU Algol 68 transput - why not use QAD?

[chris hermansen]

Good morning everyone,

In the process of attempting to implement van Vliet's transput code on top
of POSIX, I've been spending more time looking at QAD (the Algol 68 to C
translator's standard prelude and transput code) as well as /Programming
Algol 68 Made Easy/, Mountbatten's textbook on using a68 toc.

This morning I realized that, were someone to ask me why GNU Algol 68
should not use QAD transput, I could not present a cogent argument against
that idea.

Sooooooooooo.... anyone here familiar with Algol 68 and willing to convince
me that using QAD transput - as "as-is as possible" - would be a bad idea?
