Interesting. Somebody sent me one that supposedly was written for
then a few years ago. Maybe it was doing 'old style accounting' for
fun? I will have to go ask that person about it. Thank you for
letting me know.
1971 was also the year we started the switch over to the metric system.
It was going to be done gradually over a 10-year period. It's still a
work in progress...
