Although the latter couldn't actually be done with the AGC, as the software was in ROM. They could poke values into RAM to change its behaviour to some extent, and that got them out of trouble a few times, but they couldn't patch the code. It might have been possible with the Gemini computer, since it loaded its code from tape. I don't know if it was ever done, though. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
