I didn't always perform the sort, but I always duplicated the deck, and used that darn device that would interpret and print (at least some) across the top of each card. We had a couple of people, including myself, that could read the Holerith on the cards, but that was a slow process. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
