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.

On MTS, the program is located in *FLACC. It is also available for
one or more of the IBM VM OS's as well.

FLACC (Full Level Algol Checkout Compiler) was written by Chris
Thompson (and friends). If anyone is interested I can try to find
my documentation for it...
