According to cik@l.cc.purdue.edu (Herman Rubin): >Many years ago, I produced a random number package for the 6500 >with the aid of an undergraduate CS major. This was written >entirely in assembler, and was Fortran callable. We must admit that Herman practices what he preaches: He uses assembler to do his real work. However, Herman is subsequently hoist upon his own petard: >BTW, it was not upgraded for the 6600, because it used a particular >calling sequence. The graphics package the computing center used >was also not upgraded for the same reason. Ah yes, that old bugaboo: Portability. Still think it's unimportant, Herman? >Most of my code is written by myself. That is why so little gets done. No comment.
