Further versions will be found also in http://vestein.arb-phys.uni- dortmund.de/~ wb/RR/. The table of contents had to be removed, because page numbers are not a valid concept in TEX source language. Known errata, as published in Algol Bulletin No. 41 and ::: , are cor- rected. Syntactic errors in the standard-prelude, as mentioned in Commen- tary AB 43 p.7f, are corrected also. The Partial Parametrization Proposal (AB39.3.1) has been appended to the text. Layout of examples may still be improved. 1 Section ALGOL 68 Revised Report Acknowledgements Habent sua fata libelli. f De litteris Terentianus Maurus g Working Group 2.1 on ALGOL of the International Federation for Infor- mation Processing has discussed the development of \ALGOL X", a succes- sor to ALGOL 60 [3] since 1963.
