It's mostly "only" an interpreter, but it's plenty fast enough for everything I've wanted it to do. It includes the things that most A68 compilers of forty years ago left out [parallel processing and formats in particular, but also a lot of compile- and run-time checking], adds partial parametrisation [but not yet modals] as described in "Algol Bulletin", and lots of extra library stuff, plus a large PDF book/manual. -- Andy Walker, Nottingham.
