Well, I wouldn't claim to *miss* the bloody thing, though I have fond memories. Let's remember, though, that that 16K Fortran compiler had *27* (count 'em) overlaid passes. Things like: pass 1 - lexical analysis of declarations, pass 2 - lexical analysis of code, pass 3 - parse integer declarations, pass 4 - put integer declarations into the symbol table (I'm making these up; it's been far too long to remember what they were. But you get the idea). -- Geoff Kuenning ...!ihnp4!trwrb!desint!geoff
