   Any comments on ALGOL W?  Does it fit into your history?   
      
   I have for a while been trying to track down the ALGOL W compiler   
   that Wirth wrote for S/360 some years ago at Stanford.   
      
   As far as I can tell, it is now lost, but I keep asking just in case.

   [Algol W was basically a tweaked version of Algol 60.  I gather that   
   one faction wanted to do a minor upgrade of Algol 60, another faction   
   wanted to do something all new and wonderful, and the latter faction   
   won. -John]
