"ALGOL 60 at 60: The greatest computer language you've never used"

[philp]

An interesting site (BMPG) - my nearest approach to Bloodhound happened when I got on the wrong coach, one morning at North Luffenham in 1962 and ended up at the local missile site - promptly rejected as not holding clearance(s).

If the BMPG team have produced a simulator they may have used Coral 66 files to drive a virtual Coral 66 interpreter on e.g a Rasberrry Pi, the original systems have long been withdrawn, so no risk of a hacker gaining much from the old code. Try them - the worst they can do is ignore/refuse any such request.

One of the contributors above has linked to two Coral 66 programs that could serve your needs for test material. ( Oldben, I think). Anyway - have fun…

If anybody wants to try out Algol 60, there’s a version of it available with Rob Storey’s IBM 7094 emulator, at:

GitHub - Bertoid1311/B7094

This is the sequence of demo screens to follow (you’ll want the demo of the University of Maryland MAMOS system):

UMES resurrected (sort of)

There was an article on this forum about a year ago: about the availability on-line of documentation for the University of Michigan Executive System (UMES), that ran on the IBM 7090 in the early 60s. It turns out that the University of Maryland created a subsystem for IBSYS called MAMOS that allowed some of the UMES languages to run there. There’s a document describing MAMOS at: https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/19660017936/downloads/19660017936.pdf Section 3.1-1 in the above document…
