Abstract

An ALGOL translator has been prepared and integrated into the IBSYS Operating System. Assembly and “go” features of IBSYS permit immediate execution with optional listings, decks and debugging information. Using the chain feature of IBSYS, links written in MAP or FORTRAN as well as ALGOL may be called by the ALGOL main program. In addition, procedures coded in MAP may be included in any ALGOL program. Although assembly plus loading time exceeds compilation time, the total time is satisfactory and the user gets ease and facility which are fully compensating.
