Algol 68 has been running at the University of Alberta under the Michigan Terminal System (MTS) for a number of years. I do not know if other MTS sites are running it. I DIDN'T SAY THAT. I DIDN'T SAY THAT. I DIDN'T SAY THAT. Is that enough times? PLEASE carefully read the message you are quoting to make sure you've got the right person before blindly using a reply macro!!! --- Tovar [Copies of my original 60-line message entitled "Please quote carefully" were broadcast by BRL-SEM on 20-Feb-87 16:23, and will be resent to anyone asking, assuming a reasonable network address. I did not want to burden the rest of you with this. I tried to have sent a copy to Mr. Nerenberg, but he and/or the intervening mail software did not provide an adequate return address to reply directly. If your mailer does the same thing, please fix it.]
