> You mean in Fortran IV times ? ;-) I learned FORTRAN II just before FORTAN IV was released on an IBM 7044. Worked with a 4K DEC PDP 8. Had to enter binary for the RIM loader to load in paper tape. The original Burger King point of sale (Manex) was developed in the early 1970s. Very tight 100% assembler code with no external storage. It relied on core memory for persistence if power went down. The modem did not have any UARTS, we would send a bit, go into a timing loop for 1200 bps, send the next bit until 8 bits + start and stop were sent. We even had to program the hammer strikes on the printer drum.. Those days were fun. -- Jerry Feldman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
