Perhaps not a true acid test, but one that reassures me as to its veracity. I loaded FOCAL-8 tonight from tape via the '33s reader, then typed in one of the example programs from the programming in Focal pamphlet that found the intersection of two functions and then "plotted" them using ASCII graphics. It all worked as expected so I'm officially declaring this setup revived. I also found a kind soul on the greenkeys list who will re-ink ASR-33 ribbons so I will have something of a supply of those. All in all I am quite pleased and it should make for a _much_ better VCF display running Focal than it did last year just running the memory test! --Chuck
