Yes, see pages 21-22 of the User Guide, though they seem to be missing
from the syntax summary in Appendix 3.
The User Guide is impressively straighforward considering how
complicated Algol 68 was considered at the time.
My copy appears to be identical to the online one, but is the second
impression and slightly cheaper.
The Wikipedia page for Algol 68 references an article in this very
newsgroup by Dennis Ritchie entitled "C and Algol 68", but it appears
to have gone from the Internet Archive, no doubt thanks to Google.
Does anyone have a copy?
