Columns 1-72: program text, 73-80: line number, 80-90: patch level -
on punch cards! Even with just 72 columns, ALGOL programs hardly ever
needed wrapping. Come to think of it I really hated the style of
putting commas at the beginning of lines:
INTEGER
A
,B
,C
,ANOTHER_VARIABLE
;
just to save a little bit of work shifting commas and semis around
when inserting new variables (come to think of it I hate semicolons
and statement terminators).
OK, I'll admit now I make each program statement one line and let the
editor wrap – something Eclipse doesn't seem to do too well. Is there
a way to enable this?
