Rich,

Do you mean you youngsters didn't use McCraken?

The data was entered via model 33 teletype machines spitting out paper tape. Typos on paper tape could consume lots of time trying to correct them. But in some ways it was a step up from the PDP-8 assembler I previously toggled in by hand (BTW the PDP-8 had a great Space Invaders game output to a Tek scope). I would suggest the array processing was FORTRANs strength - if you needed it.

It was humorous, full of examples, got me through that class and I still have the book. For those interested, book cover scans at http://tinyurl.com/35wap9 and http://tinyurl.com/399ozl .
