Regarding my mention of the Anchorage ATC programmers using Fortran and the Commercial Subroutine Package, Tom Simons wrote: "That Commercial Subroutine Package must have been IDEAL". Since I've made a few mistakes lately by misremembering things, I checked back with Google and found www-03.ibm.com/ibm/history/exhibits/ 1130/1130_facts4.html which describes the Commercial Subroutine Package for the 1130. CSP may have descended from an IDEAL or vice- versa. The only IDEAL's I can remember were an optional mode in Borland TASM (Intel X86 assembler), and something from CA.
