Bagwell Jr. Sat, 02 Apr 2005 16:32:10 +0000 http://www.mcjones.org/dustydecks/archives/2004/07/04/2/#comment-452 I retired in 2003 after over 40 years of computer science work - 6 years at Univ of Illinois Digital Computer Lab, 34+ years at Computer Sciences Corp (yes, I knew Roy Nutt). From 1965 through 1982 I was involved in Fortran compiler development and in Fortran 77 standardization (X3J3 committee) at UofI and CSC. While at U of I, I saved from trash an assembly language listing of Fortran II, modified to run with 7 index regs and under the U of I 7090/94 op system Porthos. Porthos was derived from the U of Michigan op system. It supported a hard disk. I still have this listing - on full size computer paper. I was considering some way to maybe donate it to the Computer History Museum - but I may reconsider. Surely there is some researcher who could use this? I'm moving soon to Idaho (now in So Calif) - this thing should go somewhere usefull! John T. Bagwell Jr. - - - email me at jbagwellcsc (AT) yahoo.com with suggestions?
