You also need to drop the quotes, otherwise it won't be recognised as a
search list. So, more like:
$ DEFINE DCL$PATH DKA0:[first],DKA0:[second],DKA0:[third]
Oh, thanks. I didn't know/remember that detail... And I also forgot to type
the DCL$PATH part! :PPP

Never been a := or :== fan, I've always used = or == with double quotes, but
it should work the same both ways.
e.g. FOO == "BAR" instead of FOO :== BAR (that extends to end of line).
But it isn't working.
First of all I would check that everything is in place:
$ SHO LOG VIM
$ SHO LOG TMP
$ SHO SYM VIM (with and without /GLOBAL)
$ SHO SYM GVIM (ditto)

If it's in the right place, both logicals will work :)
try sho log sys$startup and sho log sys$manager :)

I don't think it was, but It's hard to say, as it's just one big binary blob to me. However, would the GEM even fit on a PDP-11?
It would not easily self host, but few of the PDP-11 compilers were asked to self host. They started cross compiling from the 10's then from the Vaxen. By the time PDP-11 went EOL, the cross compilers were running on Alpha (and maybe PMAX - again too man beers ago).

Fair enough - long after I was paying much attention. Do you know if
it was part of GEM? The GEM suite allowed N front ends, and Y
back-ends.
GEM never generated code for the PDP-11. It did do IA-32, IA-64, Alpha,
MIPS. I supports a range of operating systems including Windows,
OpenVMS, Tru64, Linux and NonStop (although that never made it to
production).
To get an idea, check out my BLISS family-tree at:
http://tim.sneddon.id.au/blog/Posts/A_BLISS-ful_family_tree
As for PL/1 on 16 bit machines - it was done, particularly with subset
compilers. Again, I lost interest in it in the early 1980s. PL/C
was Cornell's version and a number of things like Intel's PL/M for
the 8080 appeared, Stanfords PL/360 etc, all show it possible,
PL/M was more of a language of it's own, based on PL/I. The others
I can't really speak for.

That it would... Anyone have GCC setup to generate something that can be linked under RSX?
Right now GCC doesn't generate DEC-compatible assembly output. Its switches suggest that it does, but its "DEC" output style isn't. That is on my to be fixed list, behind a number of other things.
But it probably works well enough at the moment that one could run it, mung the generated assembly code a bit to convert from the default "gnu as" syntax to DEC syntax, and go from there.

I'm honestly not sure, I've never used AlphaVM-free before.
What I do know if throughput is astoundingly bad and reliability doesn't seem to be real good, either.
Sure you don't want to play with an account on my Alpha? ;)
What's the host NIC?

There was a port of the Burroughs Large Systems algol compiler for RT11.
I have one on a DECtape I.
It compiled test programs that I had written for, and copied from the B7700. Burroughs Extended Algol beats C Bliss hands down as tool to write compilers and os's in.

If I remember right, PDP-11 Algol has been mentioned on this list from time to time. That was released via DECUS, and I've seen those bits in the past. The problem always was that the runtime code (algol.rts) showed up only as a binary, no sources.
It looks like I have a copy of the sources. Would there be interest in that? This is for RSTS (as a runtime system) though the I/O is pretty simple and could presumably be adjusted for some other OS if anyone wants to.
By the way, I don't remember ever seeing a manual for the language implemented by that compiler. It turns out the best reference for that would be a manual for one of the Burroughs mainframes (say, the B5500 or B6700), which can be found on Bitsavers. The implementation actually compiles for P-code that resembles the machine code of those machines, except for using 16 bit words rather than 48/53 bit ones. The language has a number of large extensions that were taken directly from the I/O and string processing extensions in Burroughs Algol.

Never tried, but I suppose that something like the following would

You also need to drop the quotes, otherwise it won't be recognised as a
