- <Mortran actually lived on in the Cray world disguised as
- <SKOL in the old COS operating system. At one time, several
- <significant pieces of COS were coded in it, including CSP
- <(the control statement processor - COS's shell), and some of
- <the original debugging tools. Over time, these were rewritten
- <in raw Fortran, CAL (assembler), and Pascal (this was long before
- <C became all the rage).
-
- <There was even an undocumented extension in the old CFT Fortran
- <compiler called 'IMPLICIT SKOL' which did something magical with
- <variables starting with I00. But this is all dusty history and
- <I don't remember what it did.
-
- <No, we didn't port SKOL to Unicos. :-)

- I will probably get some perhaps justified
- abuse and humiliation for the following:
- SKOL was a great preprocessor,
- with all sorts of neat features including some
- wonderful source code debugging tools.
-
- So I ported it to UNICOS for my own use!
-
- SKOL lives!!
