Chris Thomson and Colin Broughton founded Chion Corporation which developed and marketed FLACC (Full Language Algol 68 Checkout Compiler). This compiler and run-time system conformed exactly to the Revised Report,[needs context] ran on IBM 370 and compatible mainframes, and included debugging features derived from WATFIV.
