  CSI 311: Notes on Parameter Passing
The answer lies in subtle differences in the semantics of the three languages.
Parameters must be declared as "var" parameters if the pass by reference mechanism is to be used.
Pass by name is not directly expressible in Pascal, but the effect is simulated with code specific to the AlgolW example.

 Extracts from Computer Centre News 2
With the introduction os a Stabletron Visual Display Unit in the Job Reception Area it will now be possible to present users with certain information concerning the queueing and running of jobs in the 4-75 computer.
NAG provides a comprehensive range of numerical routines which are well documented and easy to use, so please try to use it and let us have your reactions.
The majority of the library will shortly be available to ALGOLW users as well as in FORTRAN and details will be published as soon as possible.

 Fortran   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
We might note also that Computing Science students have never been introduced to FORTRAN as a first language.
For several years a machine-language and assembly-language simulator developed in the Department was used in CMPUT 310, the predecessor to what is now 114 and 115, and was replaced by ALGOLW in about 1970.
The 459 course number was soon changed to 359 to reflect the introductory nature of the course, and was changed subsequently to 351 for some now-forgotten reason.

The professional support people there, staunch handcoders to a man, were completely gobsmacked at the code IMP could generate.
Their view of high level languages was utterly conditioned by things like AlgolW and PL360.
Incidentally, the original ECCE was written by Alan Freeman for the PDP-8 in around 1964.

 Early Computing in Denmark
Later, the VM/370 system turned out to be great for interactive jobs, but its batch subsystem was quite different from OS/360, so at NEUCC it was only used by system programmers to provide a test environment.
Undergraduate programming classes were supported by WATFOR and ALGOLW under the Waterloo rapid-batch system.
A limited amount of interactive computing (program editing and text editing) could be performed through WITS, the Waterloo Interactive Terminal System, a conversational remote job entry system similar to WYLBUR.

 [OpenAFS] Configuring openssh 3.7.1p2+AFS on Tru64 OS version 5.1A
However, if you aren't familiar with C, I would strongly urge that you get more familiar with it.
Most people take courses for this; but self-study works fine as well; that's certainly how I learned C (UM was switching from AlgolW to Pascal at the time, or I could have learned Fortran and PL/1...) Most people would not choose to build or install production software in /usr/tmp.
There is a school of thought that says you should not keep build areas, and the RH RPM system and LFS methodology (for instance) both rely on this.

Tools for Use With SIX/FANT Since SIX is actually a fairly general structured programming language, tools useful with such languages are useful with SIX.
In particular SHOW:BEAUTIFY, which structures ALGOLW, Pascal, and QC programs, will also work with SIX worlds.
Simply specify PAR=SIX to tell it which set of keywords to use.

THE "PRODUCTION" COMPILER WAS TO HAVE 00800 BEEN WRITTEN IN ALGOLW.
DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS AND SOME LACK OF 00900 INTEREST, THIS MAY NEVER BE DONE.
THIS IS USEFUL 14400 FOR FINDING OUT WHERE A PROGRAM IS CAUGHT IN AN INFINITE LOOP.

 CSI 311 Notes
But G can be easily converted to an equivalent grammar that is strictly context-sensitive.
Notes on Value by Reference, Value, and Name The following three programs in BASIC, FORTRAN, and AlgolW look quite similar.
The logical expressions are called assertions; an assertion is a true-false statement about the state of the program.

 JOB Control Language (JCL)
The following statement executes a program called ROUND, and requests a space of 128M for STEP1 of the job.
The following statement executes the ALGOLW compiler and limits the job step to 5 minutes and 30 seconds of CPU time.
The TIME parameter can be used on a multiple step job where it is important that there be enough time remaining for some following step to execute, even at the cost of prematurely terminating a previous step.

 Curriculum Vitae - Val Jones
I received a BA Honours in English Language and Literature from the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK.
As an undergraduate in the School of English I had my first experience of programming (AlgolW, PL/1, Snobol!) when following John Pellowe's excellent Computational Linguistics course.
The fascination with computing was combined with an interest in sociolinguistics whilst working on the SSRC funded Tyneside Linguistic Survey project, and a PhD Some problems in the computation of Sociolinguistic Data was the result.

 Extracts from Computer Centre News 1
As from Monday 25th March 1974 the latest Release (Release 3) of the ALGOLW compiler will be used to run all ALGOLW programs on the 4-75 (under multijob).
(The Cafeteria service of ALGOLW on the 4-50 will stay on Release 2).
The Network is beginning to play an important role in our computing services.

 Paul Stachour's CS686 at St. Thomas GPS
In addition, as a student he wrote 2 different complete compilers for mid-sized languages.
This work was done using AlgolW in 1968 at Ohio State and using XPL in 1978 at Waterloo.
This course will focus on real-language compiler construction.
