There's a listing on eBay for ASCII art TTY printouts (#8707360741)
and it raised an interesting question. I remember as a kid going to my
father's office (he worked for New York Telephone in New York City) at
Christmas and they had various computer systems that they let the kids play
on. One of them (I don't remember which) had a program to print calendars.
In the eBay listing, there's a Snoopy Red Barron calendar, which I
distinctly remember printing out.
What program would have made this calendar and is one still
available, somewhere, that I could run on Windows or through something like
SIMH?
The programs are still out there, but in FORTRAN IV. The biggest
problem is you
don't have the line printers around to give you the OVER STRIKE
graphics. Look
for ASCII ART on the web, I belive somebody may have solved that problem.
If you can get the IBM-1130 working under SIMH I think you will have the
best
chance of getting it to work. Remember the graphics deck is needed as
well as the
program deck of cards.

PS ... I want the NUDE pin-up calendar now that I'm older ... :)
Note OFF-TOPIC good pin-up calendars from JAPAN run $45 to $75
US each ...
