According to
the users I've spoken to, the majority of Cray-1 applications
were Fortran programs submitted as batch jobs.
I recall that at least one COMBOARD was used to submit FORTRAN jobs to
a Cray. I don't know if the Cray spoke HASP natively or if there was
non-Cray gear mediating the process, but as far as the end-users were
concerned, they queued up a virtual card deck and, as if by magic, the
Cray ran the job and returned the output to the simulated line
printer.
