P.S. - should I talk about using paper tape?
<evil grin> i thought that would get a rise from those that are older than me... <g> (for the record, the oldest system i worked on regularly was a DEC PDP-11/70 running RSTS/E... we used Holerith cards and mag tape for everything except programming [had dumb terminals for that], had disc packs, and one 8" floppy drive...) -- +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | William Smith wsmith at chezsmith dot com | | Fall River, MA http://www.chezsmith.com | +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | Therapy is expensive.
