I worked mostly with FORTRAN, which meant if your cards were out of order or there was ANY error (like an upside down period), it likely wouldn't even try to run, making debugging difficult. I learned very early on to simply number the cards with a pencil. We had some keypunch machines that simultaneously typed the punched characters at the top of the card, which was a Godsend, but some machines didn't. We didn't have the tape thingy.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12928963056168874465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-32023159576761038672019-10-27T19:30:57.222-06:002019-10-27T19:30:57.222-06:00Often the smallest, simplest solution seems genius...Often the smallest, simplest solution seems genius. The diagonal line is brilliant, I wish I had thought of that. I found the cards fit neatly into the box used for bank checks. For security I used three rubber bands. <br /><br />When you mentioned the long walk between buildings that is what I thought of. That walk was like daring death to strike. It did once when I saw a grown man cry when a malicious wind ripped the cards from his grasp. <br /><br />RickAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14495862358340777039noreply@blogger.com
