Computers ALGOL

As a practical point, any computer code has to be transferable between platforms, so there is little point writing code in esoteric but obsolete languages such as French ALGOL. 

All computation was carried out on the University of Leeds Computing Service s ICL 1906A computer. The programs were written in ALGOL 60. 

ALGOL-60, an international algorithmic language, was developed with logical completeness by Wirth62 and Backus, but did not "catch on," except among minor non-IBM computer manufacturers, and ultimately disappeared.

The fraction of sample decomposed (a) from DTA curves was calculated by an algorithm made in ALGOL 60 language for a NCR Elliot Model 4130 computer by Skvara and Satava (28). This alogarithm calculated a and log c/(a) and plotted the latter as a function of temperature. Comparison of the computed DTA data with the experimental values for several dissociation reactions indicated a good agreement and applicability of the method.
