Ack. When I was at Berkeley I asked why Lisp 1.5 hadn't been ported to V7 (or some such thing... I just remember it had disappeared in an upgrade). They showed me the source they had for Lisp 1.5: a bunch of PDP-11 assembly, except right in the middle was this chunk of Pascal code from some J Random game. This is known as bit rot. -- Peter da Silva. <peter@sugar.neosoft.com>. `-_-' Hefur pu fadmad ulfinn i dag? 'U` "Det er min ledsager, det er ikke drikkepenge."
