Valtrep is the PREDECESSOR to Fortran (was Lisa C and Lisa FORTRAN)

you know, you trolls have to find better ways to take things out of context, this is pretty lame. I never said it was an os/2 port. All I said was: "Hey, i've got a TK50 in a PDP11 that happens to have OS/2 on it, this is very strange... I wonder what this is?" and about the sun workstation, the guy that wrote the first email protocol did it on that station, or at least finished it there. You can ask him yourself, but he doesn't respond to twits. and i have said since the beginning i was willing to be proven wrong. but instead of constructive criticism or converse, or even any proof at all to speak of, what do we have, mindless personal attacks, insults and non-constructive comments. I like the other explanation of valtrep better, it fits better. that was that it was fortran specially repurposed for the system it was on. but, that's barring any real hard evidence either way which no one has yet produced. yes, excerpts from ieee journal or whatever, no company history, no language epidemiology. no, just more internet trolls. Somehow I thought this list was better than that, oops, wrong again... Dan. _________________________________________________________________ Win a $10,000 shopping spree from Hotmail!
