Different strokes for different folks.  I'm somewhat amused when
I see how much people go on about floating-point calculations.
In my 50-year career of writing commercial applications, I can
count the number of times I've used floating point on the fingers
of one hand.

Or no hands, but that’s commercial applications. The kind of stuff J.

point.

It is, but it's very commercial.  Just on the "big picture" end, not
the cutting checks end.

+1

Here and there I did some quick and dirty GW-BASIC and
FORTRAN programs, but I don't consider that a real floating
point application even if internally that was used.

QBASIC allowed the programmer to specify the data
type for more efficiency.

Both computers could do accounting. A general purpose computer
needs only integer arithmetic hardware and some logical
operations to do any commercial and scientific application.

Most computers, with suitable programming, can do anything.

The question is whether they do so efficiently.  You can
run accounting on an 1130 and many people did.  Slowly.

One can certainly use a tractor-trailer truck to get a
candy bar at the corner drugstore.  But is it an 
efficient use of it?

Actually, it some cases, it is.  I know of many
engineering shops that primarily used Fortran
for their engineering work.  Since everyone
knew and was comfortable with Fortran, they
also used it for their business needs.  Often
they wrote some special routines to handle
text strings and other functions not done
well in Fortran.

If the only vehicle you own is the tractor
trailer, then you will find it useful to
get that candy bar, even if not optimum.

Other outstanding examples are Colossal Cave and Dungeon,
both written in Fortran (with a bunch of DEC extensions).
Porting them to a mainframe without those extensions -
but with block-mode terminals - was, uh, fun.

True, although if it happens often enough it'll become
worthwhile to supplement your hammer with other tools
for those things that really aren't nails.

That reminds me of the one about the new guy on a roofing
job who asked the foreman for a screwdriver.  The foreman
proffered a hammer.  "No, I want a screwdriver.  You know,
that thing with a long thin shaft with a flat blade on the
end."  "Oh," replied the foreman, "you mean a screw _remover_!"

Likewise, there were people who could not find value in
the kinds of data processing that put out the paychecks
and accounts payable, but I suspect the people who
get those checks timely and accurately would disagree.

Indeed, the IBM history noted this attitude.  And, I've
seen it myself from academic researchers disparaging
the business side of the computer center.  At least
until they fouled up their PDP work and needed us
to bail them out.

It may amaze you, but a universal computer can do 
decimal arithmetic and character handling (without
byte addressing).
How do you think that FORTRAN and COBOL compilers
were provided?

Decimal arithmetic can be carried out using binary integer
arithmetic hardware and/or with floating-point arithmetic hardware.

Some CDC machines did not have decimal arithmetic hardware
nor character handling instructions.

Wasn't this a discussion about computers with useful architectures.
This one looks like it was only useful for a small subset of
applications.

Lots more work, though. Character handling can be handled by subroutines
that do shifting and masking. but it’s got to be a lot slower. Using binary
for decimal calculations can choke on division. Just trying to align on the
decimal point is a problem. Most systems use some form of BCD via
subroutines, which is a LOT more code.

The scaling is done before (integer) division.

Not if the scaling is done before division.

One instruction.

The Lyons catering firm installed one for handling all
their commercial work.

I think that you might find other commercial installations
if you looked.

I have a suspicion that a "Meteorological Office" isn't what most people
think of as a commercial installation.

I'm not going to make a career out of it, but I did look.

Hmm, you argue on seeking just about anything to prove your point, just
like Rod, but you're avoiding his usual turns of phrase.

Sheesh, the photo was found at the Met office but it clearly says
Lyons Electronic Office. 

I would hope anyone familiar with the history of computers would be
aware that the J. Lyons catering firm built the original LEO in the
early 1950s, the first commercial electronic computer, which they used
to manage the logistics of supply for their many restaurants, and were
for a while building computers for sale to others. LEO was merged into
English Electric in the early 1960s so it wouldn't be surprising if
they used a transistorized KDF9 to replace aging valve LEOs.

The LEO 3 was transistorised, not valves.  I used one in UK in 1963-64.
Later transistorised models, the LEO 360 and the LEO 326 were built by 
English Electric after the takeover/merger in 1963.

The pictured machine seems to be a KDF9, not a LEO.  Side-by-side tape 
spools are the main giveaway.

It is my belief that Charles Moore came up with FORTH after
becoming familiar with the published info of the KDF9
instruction set.

ISTR from my undergrad 8 week internship with the CEGB
in 1971 that KDF9s were part of the Fawley Power
Station automation scheme.

(Was taken there on a day trip and purchased Venison
sausages on the way back from the butcher in Lyndhurst)
