I used it on a pdp 11/40 running RT11 v5, the SJ monitor probably.
The reason I was interested was that the university ran a B7700 at the time.
Burroughs Algol is a superset of algol60 of course. It is still around on Unisys MCP
systems.
I still have a DECtape labeled ALGOL. No idea what?s on it though

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.
