Show 005: Even Older Languages
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!). Be sure to send us any comments, questions or feedback to [email protected] Our Theme Song is "Sweet" from the "Re-Think" album by Galigan Thanks for listening! - Earl
