Can't match that one, and wouldn't, anyway, but I can say that I started out with 80-column punch cards on an IBM 360/70, not long after your Burroughs' days. Ah....the good old days, LOL! Yowza, hearing some names from my past...COBOL, Fortran...man.
I could have sworn I saw another post around here, from...somebody...that I was going to respond to, and now I can't find it. Ah, well. I've certainly put enough of my $.02 in on this thread, anyway, as there's nothing happy happening here. As someone said (the post I was seeking--was it mrmikel?), this
is a mare's nest.
