I must have lost the thread--what does this have to do with inscribing
metal cylinders for programming a system of the 1950s?
Color me puzzled.

I used Digital Visual FORTRAN quite a bit in the 90's. I still have the
installation CDs for v. 6.0A Professional Edition Intel version from
December, 1998. It featured most VAX extensions, I think. But at the
time, my main research machine was a Sun with twin 200MHz Ultrasparcs.

Yes, it was under Windows. What do you know about it?
I find these tips:

I was assisting an older client the other day, a former Yale prof,
and he's been programming since the late 1950s.
He knew people who worked at Bletchley Park. He also mentioned he
