I always liked that the first page in every C manual says something like "C is named after B, which was created by Bell Labs. Now, it's obvious what B is named after isn't it?" And, I'd always think, "NO! It's not! Was it named after Bell Labs or A?
ARGH!!

Algol is cool! C sucks! Actually, it's been years since I remembered what Algol code actually looked like.
Never done any ALGOL programming, but I've done some C programming. How clear is it that the two languages are linked? What features did you like with ALGOL coding?

Somewhere in a box in my basement, I have a Apple ][ programming book that explains why the Apple Colonel should be called the Apple Core instead. I always thought it was weird that they thought it was called the Colonel! Didn't they mean Kernal? :-P And yes, they did mention the Kernal. And whatever the heck they called the TRaSh-80 base software.
Really you can call it whatever you want. It's like the OCS/ECS/AGA chip names which added some extra character to Amigas.
Completely OT, but I wanted to complement you on your sig AMC258, very creative, took me a bit of time before I worked it out. :-)
