This page is for SOAP - A program which documents and edits ALGOL 60 programs by R. S. Scowen, D. Allin, A. L. Hillman and M. Shimell (The Computer Journal, 1971)
which was published with source code in SOAP description and Algol60 source by R. S. Scowen, A. L. Hillman and M. Shimell, CCU6 (1969).
SOAP follows in the footsteps of earlier AlgolEdit procedures - the original by W. M. McKeeman (Algorithm 268 ALGOL 60 Reference Language Editor.pdf, 1964) and a later derivation by H.L. Oudshoorn, H.N. Glorie and G.C.J.M. Nogarede (ALGOL editor — A program for standardizing program lay-out, 1968). Indeed, procedure soap(linelimit, id, od, failure); described in the 1971 paper was listed in the earlier 1969 paper as procedure algoledit(linelimit, id, od, failure);
On this site you will find the re-keyed and (manually) re-formatted source code of all three reformatting procedures, in text form (with master files stored in Unicode format) and displayed in HTML.

If anyone feels like making a more portable version of SOAP and getting it to run under 'marst', psoap.alg has been exported in marst's format with the embedded KDF9 code removed.
