I had nearly forgotten! PORTRAN wasn't it via the BNZ? But then you had such interesting ways to create despair. Put an extra card at the end of the program with badly dog-eared edge and tags having out. The poor buggers behind you in the machine get their cards munched. "Accidently" dropping a stack and then shuffling your enemies data stack while picking them up. Hiding JCL cards in you data stack. Of course you could do a lot of damage by merely flexing someone elses stack... ---------------------------------------------------------- Phil Scadden, Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences 764 Cumberland St, Private Bag 1930, Dunedin, New Zealand Ph +64 3 4799663, fax +64 3 477 5232 _______________________________________________ Offtopic mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ns3.123.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/offtopic
