Points to get my A, but if he needed help to grade papers or programs I would help. How did I get a 1400 line program typed in one day? I used the card duplicator, and only had to type in about 190 lines - while the lab assistants would come into complain about the rattling noise. I wrote the program in the turbo pascal editor Setline numbering and then sorted it by colums. I tested it with microfocus, and it showed one bug and two typos. On to the card punch and the IBM compiler, and the IBM line printer. Finished In time to clean my card punch completely. It was the end for the card punches, and COBOL. Over the next few semesters a lot of people asked how I did the last program I one day, and I just showed them the column sort of the listing. You either wondered what use it was or you thought it was evil. The code was elegant...
