It's not a ruse.
and All I said about OS/2 on the PDP-11 was that I had a TK-50 for the PDP-11 that had
OS/2 on it.
That is a true, factual statement.
I still have the tape, still willing to provide the info to anyone that can verify what it
is.
No one has ever offered.
It's very daft to say someone is making something up when you don't have any
proof,
and don't offer any way to validate the statements one way or the other.

Would you please point me to documentation for
this language prior to the
Fortran document of November, 1954
Al -
I'm beginning to think that Dan Gahlinger is like Andy Kaufman creating the
character Tony Clifton. He creates Valtrep on the Sentry-70, he creates
OS/2 for the PDP-11, just to get us to kick.
Actually, OS/2 for the PDP-11, that is so Tony Clifton. It is funny in
retrospect :-)
Eric had a real funny retort on a NetBSD list, something
to do with buying the first sneaker for sneakernet :-),
I think the Valtrep ruse, I first saw in 2006.
