Elliott ALGOL was an ALGOL 60 compiler for the Eliott 803 computer. It differed slightly from the reference version of Algol, particularly in the supported character set. [1] First released in February 1962, it is believed to be the first implementation of an ALGOL 60 compiler in a commercial context and was an unexpectedly popular product for the company. [2] Elliot Algol was the model for the Algol language system developed for the Burroughs large systems.
