IIRC there was a port of an early Burroughs Algol compiler for RT11.
Very loosely speaking. You're referring to DECUS ALGOL, by Barry Folsom and Greg
Hosler. It implements a language that resembles Burroughs Extended Algol, and the output
is a pseudo-machine binary that could be described as a 16-bit version of the Burroughs
mainframe instruction set. But I don't see any evidence that it was actually based on
any Burroughs code.
I have the RSTS port of that thing (by Terry Grieb and myself); I haven't found the RT
version, at least not the runtime library.
