Oh, yes. Those "Russian keywords" were great -;) . If I remember right, "file" became "fund" (that is, if we translate that Russian keyword for "file" into English we'll get "fund" or "foundation"). But generally (not for Algol 68 only, but everywhere) it always was the common way to understand "russified" programming term: just guess how it was called in English. >... Alone Russian has dozens of different code tables. You exaggregate, I think - I believe that there are no more than 8-10 Cyrillic code tables in current use -;) . There is surely no more than 4 Cyrillic code tables for PC (including Windows, DOS, OS/2, Linux and various flavours of Unix), other non-Russian computers (except IBM mainframes) add none. (Don't forget that most of hardware/software "legacy" in Russia was completely and irreversibly disappeared over past 15 years.) Alexander Kopilovitch aek@vib.usr.pu.ru Saint-Petersburg Russia
