That's not such a bad thing to do. And now that it's been mentioned I
realize that I forgot about Fortran.
Did you use Dartmouth Basic on an old Teletype? I still have a paper
tape and listing of a Basic Program to draw a picture made up of
overprinted characters on a line printer!
Oh, yes. At one point I even had my own surplus Teletype that I ran
over a 110 baud modem.

Cool! The implementation I used was on a CAI Alpha 16 or a Naked Mini
16. We had a hardware box that multiplexed 32 VDU's over a 4800 Baud
RS-242 connection. I patched the Basic Program to use the a VDU
instead of the teletype, but it made the random number generator go
to pot! It used the time between keystrokes to generate the number!
Those were the days!
All the Best

PS I recused a TTY too, but sadly I had to let it go, i used to love
the noise they made and they looked soooooo cool!
