I am skeptical of this particular use of "indeterminant" in Falkoff's *APL\360 History*. I typed in the web page http://www.jsoftware.com/papers/apl360history.htm contents from a printed Proceedings, and as noted in the web page,
The Proceedings state that “Mr. Falkoff’s [address] … has been transcribed from the taped recording and was not submitted as hard copy”. I just checked the Proceedings, and the word there is "indeterminent" [*sic*]. I will change the web page forthwith.
