Diggin' this extended thread….

APL was a trip; took that and Fortran in '72 at my local JC … have no idea what box \
Orange Coast College was running, however, b/c being in Costa Mesa/Newport, the fall \
was lovely b/c all the lovelies/lookers were coming off a summer of beach life, and \
still wearing their summer garb (and, yes UCSB was the same) and thus, ‘twas easy \
to get distracted. <vbseg>

In addition to the DEC port, in the late '80s there was the push for a PC version. A \
couple years ago, I heard that the first PC release, V5, was a complete rewrite but I \
don't know the language. They announced V6 with its multivendor architecture at a \
SUGI in New Orleans and it was quite a big deal.

Did APL run on the CDS box? You were talking about code looking weird and APL came to \
mind. I once had a keyboard that happened to have APL on it.

Oddly, I believe CDC was using 16-bit registers by this time and NOS was really \

versions of SPSS and BMDP for the Cyber, but no SAS (first non-IBM port was to DEC \

great rewrite of SAS to c in the 1980's).

Ah, the old days ...

\begin{quote}

The most radical change in computer equipment

that affected statistical computing

came in 1965, with the introduction of the IBM-360 series.

This series required the rewriting of all programs,

especially those that utilized assembly language.

\end{quote}



and why was the IBM-360 series such a 'radical change'?



bytes were now 8 bits



previously: 6 bits
