any thoughts on vintage chess games?
I used one back in the early 70s that was pretty decent with a nice
display. But you needed a CDC 6000-series system to run it; it was a
real cycle hog, IIRC.
Wonder if anyone bothered to preserve the game?
It was by-and-large written in CDC FORTRAN. It originally had its
own PP display driver (CHD); later versions used the programmable
"T"(on SCOPE 3.3, anyway) DSD screen.
Cheers,
