Algol (C64) Mac OS

  • Running Commodore 64 emulator in Windows XP on Mac OS X via Virtualbox! Sorry, video quality not so great.
  • Best Mac emulators guide: Emulate Mac OS 9 with SheepShaver. Should you want to delve into the Apple period between the Macintosh Plus and OS X, SheepShaver will emulate Mac OS 7.5.2 through 9.0.4.

(There's no video for MacinTalk yet. Please contribute to MR and add a video now!)

Algol (c64) Mac Os Sierra


The development of Algol played an important role in establishing computer science as an academic discipline. The Algol 68 Genie project preserves and promotes Algol 68 out of educational as well as scientific-historical interest, by making available a recent checkout compiler-interpreter written from scratch by Marcel van der Veer, together with extensive documentation for both the language.

What is MacinTalk?

MacinTalk is Apple's text-to-speech, or speech synthesizer, extension that allows Mac documents to 'talk' their text using a range of computerized voices.

MacinTalk (v1.0.2) was relased on April 15, 1985 and works on Mac OS 1.x to Mac OS 6.x

MacinTalk 2 and MacinTalk Pro (both v1.2) were released in 1994 for Mac OS 6 or 7 and were almost immediately made obsolete by MacinTalk 3.

Architecture


Motorola 68K


From Mac OS 6.0 up to Mac OS 9.2


Compatibility notes Wms slot machines online.

Architecture: 68K

Mac OS 6.x - Mac OS 9.2.2

Note: MacinTalk (1985) is only good for Mac OS 6 or lower and is archived here because a very few and old apps/games require this version to work and sometimes it did not come bundled with them. If you use Mac OS 7 or higher, there is no point in installing any of those MacinTalk versions at all, since MacinTalk 3 ships on the Mac OS installation CD's.


Emulating this? It should run fine under: Basilisk II



Programming languages, believe it or not, have existed for over 200 years, since the invention of the punch-card-programmable Jacquard loom. It wasn't a programming language in the modern sense — there was no computation and no logic — but it started a cascade that would eventually lead to Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine, and Ada Lovelace's 1842 deconstruction of his work which led to the first computer program.

Blood and snow mac os. It was a whole 100 years before the first electrical, programmable computers would burst into existence, however. Machine-specific assembly language in the 1940s was probably the first (vaguely) human-readable programming language, but by the 1950s computer engineers realized that assembly language was far too laborious and error-prone to build entire systems out of — and thus in 1955 the first modern programming language was born: FORTRAN (FORmula TRANslator). LISP (LISt Processor), ALGOL (ALGOrithmic Language), and COBOL (COmmon Business Oriented Language) would follow in the next few years — and as they say, the rest is history. Almost every language today is a derived from one of these first four languages — and indeed, FORTRAN, LISP, and COBOL are still actively used by large, lumbering institutions like the National Weather Service and the US Postal Service.

By 1964, BASIC had been invented, and then C was released in 1969. Unix was famously re-written into C — the first major OS to not be written in assembly language — and today, Linux is written almost entirely in C, and both Windows and Mac OS X have large swaths of their code written in C.
