   The genesis of Algol-W is described in the Algol 68 part of the HOPL   
   II proceedings.  IIRC it's basically a fork of the Algol development   
   from around 1965.  They had something similar to Algol-W at the time,   
   but the majority of the committee wanted something more elegant, so   
   Wirth and some others left the committee, and Wirth then implemented   
   Algol-W, whereas the committee went on to eventually publish Algol-68.
