- When I last programmed in FORTRAN in anger, it was more like:
-
- INTEGER A(6),B
- DATA A /'FOR ','THE ','HUMO','UR-I','MPAI','RED.'/
- DATA B /':-) '/
-
- WRITE(6,85367) B,A
- 85367 FORMAT(1X,A3/1X,A24)
-
- (FORTRAN-Hext on MVS/SP. JCL/JES3, TSO, SPF - all that fun)
-
- (I know I forgot a lot in the intervening years - I'm just here because
- somebody on alt.folklore.computers said to check it out)
