ALGOL 68RS from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Signals_and_Radar_Establishment RSRE] was a portable compiler system written in ALGOL 68RS (bootstrapped from [[ALGOL 68R]]), and implemented on a variety of systems including the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki_ICL_2900_Series ICL 2900]/[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICL_Series_39 Series 39], [[Multics]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wikiVAX|DEC VAX/VMS].

The language was based on the Revised Report, but with similar subset restrictions to [[ALGOL 68R]].
This compiler survives i/nin the form of an [[Algol68toc|Algol68-to-C]] compiler aka [[ELLA ALGOL 68]].

Line 9 ⟶ 11:
 
Syntax:
<lang algol68>PROGRAM [ (holelist ) ] progtitle
<pre>
PROGRAM [ (holelist ) ] progtitle
[ CONTEXT holename IN progtitle ]
[ USE uselist ]
enclosed clause
FINISH</lang>
<lang algol68>DECS dectitle
</pre>
<pre>
DECS dectitle
CONTEXT holename IN progtitle
[ USE uselist ]

KEEP keeplist
FINISH</lang>
</pre>
 
=== Example ===
<syntaxhighlight lang=algol68>PROGRAM (thinking, displaying) chess
<pre>
PROGRAM (thinking, displaying) chess
BEGIN
MODE PIECE = STRUCT(...);
Line 36 ⟶ 32:
HERE displaying(PIECE, pieces, BOARD, game);
...
END</lang>
</pre>
 
<lang algol68>PROGRAM thinkmodule
<pre>
PROGRAM thinkmodule
CONTEXT thinking IN chess
...
FINISH</syntaxhighlight>
</pre>
 
An entire program can thus be '''composed''' of pieces of other modules, particularly if a ''hole'' contains a sub-''hole'' (eg displaypiece), then this le''hole'' can hoinin-turn be pulled into the composition.
 
Example:
<lang algol68>PROGRAM abc
<pre>
PROGRAM abc
COMPOSE game(thinking=thinkmodule, displaying=displayingmodule(piece=displaypiece))
FINISH</lang>
</pre>
FINISH
