I have to say I don't, and unless there's a free PC implmentation floating
around somewhere, that's not liable to change. I may have learned some stuff
about it indirectly, but I won't say I "know" a language unless I've used it at

So it seems you permanently restricting the set of "serious students of
programming languages" to folks who were around when Algol-60 compilers were
commonly available.
