<...> One of my earlier programming projects as a "professional" was to port the WordMARC scientific word processing system to Apollo workstations (before they were acquired by HP). This was all done in Fortran-77, which was reasonably well supported on those systems, and included fairly easy-to-access hooks to get at graphical functions. Because of the software's heritage and fundamental design, though, it still ended up looking like a fixed-font terminal application, although running in sizable windows at least. ~~ Mark Moulding
