    ABSTRACT:: Sail is a high-level programming language for the PDP-10
               computer. It includes an extended ALGOL 60 compiler and a
               companion set of execution-time routines. In addition to
               ALGOL, the language features: (1) flexible linking to
               hand-coded machine language algorithms, (2) complete access
               to the PDP-10 I/O facilities, (3) a complete system of
               compile-time arithmetic and logic as well as a flexible macro
               system, (4) a high-level debugger, (5) records and
               references, (6) sets and lists, (7) an associative data
               structure, (8) independent processes, (9) procedure
               variables, (10) user modifiable error handling, (11)
               backtracking, and (12) interrupt facilities.

               This manual describes the Sail language and the
               execution-time routines for the typical Sail user: a
               non-novice programmer with some knowledge of ALGOL. It lies
               somewhere between being a tutorial and a reference manual.
