Question about Dungeon game on the PDP 37

Yes, talking about non-computer printed documents here.
I don't know how true this is, but I heard a story of how the H-11 came about. When KO started up DEC, they didn't have the bucks to buy all the test equipment...
That would be similar to playing with a screwdriver to see how many ways you can use it. It doesn't...
You could be right. I've just taken a look at his biography ( on Fortran, though the name is familiar to me. I may have read one of his works on Pascal.
At that time, sure not. I was talking about the few times I've encountered the bi-caps (ForTran or large-small caps) version myself.
Anyone got one of those McCracken works* handy they could flip open and take a quick look at? It's not hugely important, I'll admit, but it's interesting in the historical sense.

PS: Well, that was interesting. When I just hit SEND on this message, my spell-checker wants me to change all instances of Fortran to FORTRAN throughout this message. * I've listed just those with "Fortran" in the breastle Computing for Engineers and Scientists with Fortran 77, 2nd ed., Wiley, 1988.
