I have very good reason to remember it, but not without some anguish.
The version we ran had an interesting bug - a statement with a character
literal string, having a doubled apostrophe such that the first of the
pair wound up in column 71 caused the statement to be terminated at that
point, and the continuation character ignored. And I found this in an
application that generated copious character strings of almost
unpredictable lengths.....
