You seem to be supposing that I said one could/would
implement ANSI/ISO C
on a 1410 in native code
[snip]
I would not suggest that one would implement ANSI/ISO
C on such a machine,
any more than I would expect to implement current versions of FORTRAN on
such a machine. Heck, there wasn't even a FORTRAN IV for the 1410.
Wasn't there? I realize that the 1410 was not code compatible with the 1401,
but the architectures are similar enough that I would expect them to have
similar compilers. I know that the 1401 had a FORTRAN IV compiler, because
that was my first computer and first language, back in the spring of 1969.
