Title: Towards a machine-independent transput section
Abstract: If the transput section of an ALGOL-68 compiler is to be portable, it must be described in such a way that it is clear which aspects are machine-dependent, and which are not.There should be a clear set of primitives underlying the transput.In this report, a description is proposed which can really be used as an implementation model: the transput is described in pseudo-ALGOL 68, except for the underlying primitives, whose semantics are given in some kind of formalized English.The state of this model is by no means definitive, but may serve as a start for further discussion.
