I’d love to see that program. As a UCSD Pascal developer (at UCSD back in the day)
interesting Pascal programs are always something that I’m interested in seeing/reading.

I have a program that takes coordinates of ICs and/or connectors and a net list and

It tells what length wire to use.
It is written in Pascal, and uses a genetic algorithm to find the shortest path.
Sometimes that doesn't give the best wire routing, but it tries. I have not used this
program in several decades, but I'd be glad to give it to you.

By the

I'm glad we can agree on this. Of course the Earth is round.
It's also hollow.
To try and turn this thread around: I'm looking to make an extended memory controller
for my pdp8/L. I've got a wire wrap backplane and enough cards to make it work but
I've never done wire-wrap on this sort of scale.
I've got an old Radio Shack Wire wrap tool and a lot of wire. Is there any sites that
discuss how to do reasonable wire-wrapping?
