   Surveyors seems to use Gradian/gon often. There is still another circle measurement, the mil which is 6400 for one turn. But I just learned by reading the wikipedia page, that there is not only the 6400 NATO mils I knew, but also 6000

   And Voyager 1, the furthest man made object has already completed 0,0023 lightyears from the 4.3 lightyears to the nearest star Alpha Centauri. But its heading in the wrong direction anyway...

    When I'll drive down a motorway I doubt that I use sound or inertial for planing my further track. I presume that one could drive 'remote' with only visual, if it would be the same quality as when one was in the vehicle.

    I was in the impression that TP strings grew dynamically (memory), but I just checked for TP and this seems to be wrong. Probably too much time has passed since then ;)

    Obviously, the utility was limited, but apparently people did it. For graphics yes. But around that time all Borland (C, Pascal) products supported debugging with to monitors (VGA+Hercules). And I used a little TSR for years that transfer
