It took me only four hours. I recommend the experience to anybody -- it is simply amazing, in many ways, especially if you are already familiar with the Algol 68 Revised Report. If this is where we are going, I am perplexed. Seeing it all before your eyes in one go makes you ponder. I would give more details, but I think the experience is ineffable, and has to be relived to be appreciated :-). -- Piercarlo "Peter" Grandi | ARPA: pcg%uk.ac.aber.cs@nsfnet-relay.ac.uk Dept of CS, UCW Aberystwyth | UUCP: ...!mcsun!ukc!aber-cs!pcg Penglais, Aberystwyth SY23 3BZ, UK | INET: pcg@cs.aber.ac.uk
