Hi Paul - the images are on-line, I blame my inept typing and editing
skills for not properly deleting that line. Originally I wrote that line as
they are not on-line via CHM. But, I thought to look on Al's site and of
course there they are. Which is the important thing - that people can get
access to them.
Computers...jeesh! Do what I want, not what I say! ;-)

"A Purdue professor had a 20-drawer card file of 1620 software. The fire

CHM. Is it still there?"
Yes. Catalog entry here:

Many years (decades?) ago Dave Babcock and I read all the cards as part
of
the original 1620 project at CHM. Thank God for
Bitsavers.org because the
images of the software are available here:

Enjoy!

The obvious question is why is this material not on-line
You gave a link to the "images" on bitsavers, so what did you mean by
"not
on-line"?
