Rumor has it that the Amsterdam Compiler Kit people are working on an
Algol 68 front end. That'll be a nice thing to have, along with the global
optimizer they're working on too.

(See the September '83 CACM for more info on the Amsterdam Compiler Kit, and
who to write to get it; you need a Unix license, since their C compiler is
PCC. We have it, and I've been told that it generates pretty good code.)
