for OS/2"

Hi Andrew,

AG>If it does anything useful, I might be persuaded to write a KDF/9

The KDF-9 does not do anything that cannot be done better in other ways. The
only reason I was still writing its Autocode in the 1970's was because my
then-employer, ICI, had over 35,000 programs in registered production and
most of these needed maintenance each and every time they were run. It was
_that_ good.

Note that FORTRAN IV was a major step up from K-code.

Regards

Dave
