it would make this much more interesting if you would describe why this 1960s program does something interesting toda. > MAD is similar to original FORTRAN, if wikipedia is right, NOPE. according to wikipedia, it's 'inspired' by ALGOL60. and that is not even remotely close to FORTRAN. > but there are some things that are just > weird.
