The language was so ugly, and the teacher for it told war stories instead of teaching, that no one bothered to learn it. They just copied the labs from someone who had the class before. I can't imagine a worse 'language' than one that tells you what characters you can type and hard codes columns to type them in. >> > > You never used FORTRAN on punched cards then :) > > Columns 1-6 were numeric for statement number; 7 a continuation column s/6/5/ s/7/6/ Also, a "C" in column 1 meant that columns 2-80 were ignored; "C" meant "comment." -- esosman@comcast-dot-net.invalid "Don't be afraid of work.
