Two methods for extending Algol 68 to handle decision tables are described. One method allows an extension to Algol 68 to handle limited entry decision tables while the other method, which involves the use of a preprocessor, extends Algol 68 to handle mixed entry decision tables. Two systems have been constructed using the ideas outlined in this paper; these are described and examples of their use are given.
