Seymour The last Ferranti Mk1 was delivered in 1957 and that used Williams tubes. Whilst Ferranti stopped using Williams Tubes after the Mk1 the Pegasus still used valves/tubes for a long time afterwards. They also continued to avoid core, referencing delay lines, presumably to void patent

Kerry, I tried it recently. I think the simple answer is you need to specify macro directories using the SYSMAC option. There are no defaults. I spent ages searching for a way to set up a search path that persists. There isn't one. Dave > -Original Message- > From: IBM Mainframe
