That beats me; the best I can do is some time in the late '80s. I read about an extension to an app we used, and sent off for it. It came in the form of a card deck, and I had to ask around to find any old card reading we might still have. There was one in one of our factories in VA, so I sent it off there in the inter-office mail and they read it in for me. Then had to link-edit it, of course.

I'll guess it was prepared ~1985. --- On 23Nov08:1703+0000, Schmitt, Michael wrote: > What's the latest that people still used punched cards and/or paper tape? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
