Show 005: Even Older Languages


Listen Later

Hello, lovers of computers old and new...

This is show #005!  Thanks for sticking around - hope you enjoy the

program.

In addition to covering your e-mails and some interesting links, this show

discusses a couple of my favorite (even older than show #003) computer languages, Fortran and
COBOL.  If you'd like to dust off your old programs and give them a whirl,
have a look at the links below!

Braeburn provides articles

about the history of computing and technology in general.  They have a
recent article on the history of the Apple Lisa.
The Replica I, a replica
of the original Apple I computer!
The Retrocomputing 2005 challenge
- test your retrocomputing abilities...
DOSBox is an environment to run
older DOS games (and other programs) on modern systems and operating systems.
Tiny COBOL is a modern COBOL
compiler that is open-source.
Salford FTN95 is
a modern Fortran 95 compiler for Windows (with .NET support!).
