Reino was an instructor at Cal Poly SLO when I was
studying computer science
there in the 1970's.
He was a nice old guy. I learned 360 BAL from his class. I think he passed
away in 2006. If I'm
not mistaken I contributed to the writing of that book. I doubt he was a
nazi.
My only computer-related class as an undergraduate was 360/370 assembler
programming (which had several prerequisites, but since I learned FORTRAN IV,
COBOL, and PL/1--not yet PL/I--in high school, and 360 assembler the summer
after I graduated, the insturctor waived those).
We used the first edition of Hannula's textbook. I still have it, packed
away in the storage locker. (For that matter, I still have my dusty decks
from that class. When we get a card reader going,
either a CR11 or one of
the ones on the Sigmas, I'm gonna do something with
them. ;-)
