Talk:ALGOL W
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I added the reference below, and it was removed by User:Prosfilaes with the comment "(everything2 is not appropriate as an external link)". Why is everything2 not appropriate? This article is the only detailed, first-person description of the Algol W I can find on the Internet: it is particularly useful.
- Algol W @ Everything2 An informal but detailed description of the language by a former user, with sidebars extolling Algol W over Pascal as an Educational programming language.
- Yeah. I wonder that too. It must be some mistake, otherwise the editor who deleted it, should have answered you by now. It was more than a year since. I'll put it back. Said: Rursus ☺ ★ 09:12, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Location of Source or Binary of any Algol-W compiler
Can someone add a link or reference to where this any compiler for this language is still available or can be downloaded? What are/were the target CPUs/Operating systems?

- It wasn't a compiler; it was a programming language.--Prosfilaes 15:15, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Also: Does anyone still have a IBM Algol-W punch card. It had reserved words coded together with ASCII in one byte. NevilleDNZ 07:56, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
