I wrote a lot of Fortran code back in the mid-1080's ....

Fortran on the C=64 would have be heaven compared to Fortran on the "queue all night for a spare terminal just to have it crash on you for several hours as dawn came" hell that I suffered through with the Dec System 10.

I was wondering myself.


@Moose: well, according to some, only real coders use Fortran. It's funny to note how the article I read saying so put it in terms that were obviously analogous to Windows (or really Linux or something) versus Apple. Arty folks use the latter.

I found my "Commodore 64 Machine Language for Absolute Beginners" manual today. I had thought I'd only gotten the Assembly one (which I haven't dug out of storage yet). Along with it was a sheet of paper where I was playing with (then) undocumented registers, DEC'ing them and noting the results. It probably had something to do with printing graphics on my dot matrix printer, since the most complex (and monitor destroying) thing I did was that drawing program for cassette case inserts. Also, my 1571 drive....
