Hey, want "Real Computing" ? Try FORTRAN

persist to this day. Wrote a FORTRAN app
just a couple of years ago - mostly to vex
the New Guys. Also a short COBOL app, that
oughtta REALLY give 'em the shits ! :-)
Back in 1985, I changed jobs from a University computer center, where we
did our technical documentation using Univac's @DOC processor, to a
small industrial computer system integration firm, where we built
real-time systems on RSX-11M. I missed the @DOC so much that I wrote a
re-implementation in FORTRAN IV. Used it for years afterwards, until I
landed at a larger house doing communications work on Unix, and switched
to /troff/.

No mention of ALGOL, the ALGorithmic Language? It was contemporaneous
with both FORmula TRANslator and COmmon Business-Oriented Language.
