I thought about them, decided Cyber something. I saw one at CSIRO about then. Australian Bureau of Statistics was installing a Facom M200 about then, IBM's best was the 3033. In my first programming course, I learned COMPASS for the CDC 3200, SCOPE. I also learned Fortran then, and managed to clobber SCOPE with one of my F programs. -- Cheers John Summerfield Microsoft's most solid OS: http://www.geocities.com/rcwoolley/ Note: mail delivered to me is deemed to be intended for me, for my disposition. ============================== If you don't like being told you're wrong, be right!
