The well known Algol-60 language definition is
"Revised Report on the Algorithmic Language ALGOL 60", in "Communications
of the ACM", Jan. 1963, pg. 1-17. Be careful, it's known that the BNF
grammar has ambiguity.


There's a runnable Algol-60 specification based on the Report. Check
ftp://ftp.cs.colorado.edu/pub/cs/distribs/eli/Examples
You can also find C, Fortran, and Pascal there.


The Eli home page is at http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~eliuser


Good luck and have fun.
