But it must have been the fancy model; the OS was on disk (I don't know the size), so we did not have to include either the OS or the compiler in card form. I used FORTRAN, COBOL (no nested IF's allowed), and Assembly (which had all of 27 instructions). The school replaced the 1130 with the 3000, and after I graduated switched again to a VAX, leaving the 3000s on the administrative side. Don Seay, do you remember more details? Did I remember correctly? --Glenn ....................................................................... Item Subject: cc:Mail Text
