The best book on Simula-67 is
	RJ Pooley "An Introduction to Programming with Simula"
		Blackwell 1987 
It is the only book which teaches the current Simula standard,
and is a far better source than Simula-Begin.
There are short introductions (concentrating on Simulation) in
	WR Franta "A Process View of Simulation" Elsevier 1978?
	I Mitrani "Simulation Techniques for Discrete Event Systems"
		Cambridge University Press 1985?

The Simula Newsletter has a regular list of publications on
Simula, (surprisingly, they are often in Polish, Russian, Czech
-- maybe reliable software will be the Warsaw Pact's answer to star
Wars! )

The Newsletter is sent quarterly to members of the Simula Users Group.
Membership is free, send Name/Address to
	ASU Secretariat,
	Simula a.s.,
	Postbox 4403, Torshov,
	0402 Oslo 4
	Norway
