I seem to remember a one-legged robot that hopped. It was funny to watch,
amazingly quick, and a bit jumpy. It was kind of a box around a pogo-stick.
Very cool.

I remember it, too, along with robotic snakes, and other
interesting approaches to locomotion.

In the teletype exchange with the teletype, the process would send the line
feed and the teletype would respond with the carriage return as an
acknowledgement of the line-feed (a shorthand for an x-on/x-off protocol).

Why bother going from MUMPS to C? MUMPS is faster than most other database
access methods. The major problem with code translators is that the code
they usually generate is not very supportable and nearly impossible to
modify. It would be far better to embark on a modernization program for the
If you really want to see (no pun intended) what I compiler does with

would do to most M code is similar. (Actually, the question of

OK, put that in English. What is the -S option? My guess that since M is
written in C, that it is what happens to M when it is compiled before it
becomes machine language ??

Compilers don't really generate assembly code (at least not anymore),
but the -S option requests the compiler to produce a file containing
a (PowerPC in this case) assembly language file representing the
machine code that is actually generated. Typically, compilers will
rewrite code
Compiler design is a fascinating topic. I believe it is this together
with operating systems that really got me hooked on computers. I
couldn't put down Andrew Tanenbaum's MINIX book, it was simply
fascinating. Of course, at the time I was working on my degree in
mathematics. For some
