You have not addressed the question of whether Algol was used to develop algorithms. Even had you *shown* that other languages had been used earlier or more often, that would have not addrssed the issue in dispute. 2. You cited a book describing multiple algorithms; you refused to identify specific algorithms about which you were making claims. 3. You profused to show that the unspecified algorithms about which you made claims had not already been in use. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
