Instead of going through the hassle of converting Algol-60 to Pascal, you
could use a Simula compiler. Algol-60 is a subset of Simula(-67), so your
programs should run without too much modifications. The parts that probably
must be changed are the IO-procedures.

There is a Simula-67 compiler for the PC, released about two years ago, but I
don't remember the name of the company which developed it. What I rememeber,
it was a Scandinavian company, probably from Norway. If you can't find any
lead, I'll could make some inquiries.
