put valtrep in quotes on your google search. This cuts back on the offending valtrex
hits.
Its there, but in recent history, nowhere near the genesis of FORTRAN.

I would if I could. I can find NO trace of it anywhere online.
I can't even find the COMPUTER system it ran on- not a trace of it!
the computer was a "Sentry-70", and no, it's not the earliest system that
ran Valtrep,
just the only one I ever worked with.
Again, I'm willing to cede the point if provided evidence to the contrary,
this is certainly strong, but not binding.
If we could even find a hint about the computer itself, it might lead to information
about Valtrep.
Dan.

Would you please point me to documentation for this language prior to the
Fortran document of November, 1954
