Re: [U2] Origin of the word 'COMO'
Not sure, but back in the Pr1me days, I think we had both COMOs and COMIs. That was a LNG time ago, so hopefully that will knock some dust off a smarter person's grey matter.

Re: [U2] Origin of the word 'COMO'
Primos, then prime information. Primos had command input and command output files. Comi and como. They upgraded comi files with cpl which was a command processing language that supported variables and decision based branching.

Re: [U2] Origin of the word 'COMO'
Plus you could execute comi files on other than the default unit 6 so you could do semi modular programming. There's still a como subroutine buried in uv that you can send a bit based argument to controlling output options.

COMO=COMmand Output (since it captures command output to a file) COMI=COMmand Input (since it allows you supply input to a program or command) Robert Norman, U2 Programmer/Analyst ROBERT NORMAN ASSOCIATES On 7/22/2013 1:36 PM, Wols Lists wrote: On 22/07/13 21:10, Allen Egerton wrote: Primos, then prime information.
