I am looking at the source for the OS/360 ALGOLW compiler,
written by Wirth in about 1969.
There is a file which seems to be for a parser generator
It looks like actual input to a program, and there is some output
from the processor, but I don't know what program it is.
[Algol W was written in PL360, a very nice little assembler with
Algol-like syntax. I'm pretty sure it used a hand-written parser and
what you have is part of the documentation. I also believe I saw a
thread somewhere saying the source code for both was lost, although
PL360 was used for other stuff and there may be later versions of it.

It seems that in addition to the listings, the source of the MTS
ALGOLW compiler from some years later is available. The low
level I/O routines and other OS specific parts will be different,
but the internal compiler routines should be close.
[Well, whaddaya know. The PL360 table generator that reads the BNF is
just before the BNF, starting on page 81. -John]
