Thanks. I will get busy when I get it. I'm sorry about the tape I sent
being so hard to use. Would some other format have been better? I
remember you saying something one time about it being 80 byte fixed records
or something? I could make a new one for you and try again.
We've got lots of 9track tapes here. We get software and OS updates on
them and after they are loaded on the hard disk I don't need the tapes
anymore, I've got about 3 racks of them now.
As for Manx, apparently they aren't doing any folding when they compile the
code. Folding lets the compiler compute expressions whose values are
either constants or variables whose values can be determined at compile
time so that the expression isn't evaluated at run time. That is suprising
since Manx is supposed to be so good. Apparently Lattice IS attempting to
do folding, if only they would get the correct answer when they do it!
