> FORTRAN. What version is it up to these days?
Ah, Fortran. I used FORTRAN 66 (and later 77) and ALGOL 68 at university.
That kind of dates me. And yes, I programmed using punch cards. You used
to see folks walking around with huge trays of many hundreds of these things
on their way to computer reception. The ICL machine had a 32k core store.
If you thought you needed more than 16k for your run you had to supply an
authorisation letter from your supervisor.
Ah - happy days. Not ;-)
