ALGOL 68RS is the second ALGOL 68 compiler written by I. F. Currie and J. D. Morrison, at the Royal Signals and Radar Establishment (RSRE).[1] Unlike the earlier ALGOL 68-R, it was designed to be portable, and implemented the language of the Revised Report.
Versions of ALGOL 68RS were written for the ICL 2900 Series, Multics, and VAX running VMS.[2][3]
Subsequently, parts of this compiler were released into the public domain, as a translator from ALGOL 68 to C, as part of the public release of the hardware description language ELLA, also by the RSRE.
