The formal definition of Algol68 make numerous references to the standard '''prelude''' and '''postlude'''.
 
At the time the language was formally defined it was typical for code to be stored on decks of [[wp:Punched card|punched cards]] (or [[wp:Punched tape|paper tape]]). Possibly because storing code on [[wp:Hard disk drive|disk]] (or [[wp:Drum memory|drum]]) was expensive. Similarly itcard was better that carddecks couldcan be read sequentially from ''just'' one [[wp:Punched card input/output|card reader]]. It appears the Algol68 "standard" assumed all cards could be simply stacked before and after the actual ''source code'', hence the references "prelude" and "postlude" in the formal standard.
