Re: [ALACPP] next week's reading?

["Scott M. Anderson" <scottmanderson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here's a BCPL reference (it led to B which led to C and C++) 
http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/who/dmr/bcpl.html

Here's some ALGOL stuff http://www.masswerk.at/algol60/report.htm

Here's a site on Simula from Montreal, where they're apparently still 
gaga over it http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~simula/ 
<http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/%7Esimula/>

And of course, if you just want the broad overview, I highly recommend 
Eric Levenez's language history page http://www.levenez.com/lang/
