STANDARD DISCLAIMERS

• My coding style has made it mostly unmodified through every language I have coded in since around 1977.
  • The minor changes required have been a lot less painful than trying to keep up with the proposed standards for all of the languages I have encountered in that time,
  • A far from exhaustive list of those languages is:
    • Punch card DEC 10 and IBM System III Pascal.
    • Punch card COBOL.
    • Punch card FORTRAN on DEC 10 and 20.
    • Motorola 6800, 6809, 68000-68060 assembly code.
    • Apple and Super PET 2000 UCSD Pascal.
    • Commodore CP/M Pascal.
    • Python.
    • Structured BASIC on Amiga machines.
    • Highly modified but still recognizably on all forms of Microsoft BASIC that came on Apple, CBM, Atari, and other 8 and 16 bit machines or their first cartridges.
  • In short, your complaints about my coding style will be ignored unless they are genuine improvements which I can include in the next iteration of my style.
