A full 32 bit Algol 68 compiler with some SNOBOL like pattern and string matching extensions. Introduced by Oxford and Cambridge Compilers Ltd. in 1995 and based on the Interactive ALGOL 68 compiler from Algol Applications Ltd., was sold until 2004 when the company went out of business.

The compiler was originally developed in the 1980s for Transputer based workstations or cards and this was taken advantage of in the OS/2 version by allowing the compiler to support offloading numerically intensive tasks to Transputer cards or farms and later to MEIKO massively parallel supercomputers.
