Yup.

nonono. I read his posts as wanting to be able to do the simplification at runtime using the arg listing rules set up at compile time. But we're drifting into outer space here. I'm still trying to figure out what he thinks efficient is. So far, all I've been able to think is that he wants arg lists in the acs because accumulators were historical "fast memory".

And I understand that. It is my understanding that current soft technology doesn't make it easy for a user to create his own library in the same spirit that a compiler does with its system-wide library.

It is also occurring to me that Herman may need some help in learning about timesharing systems and how to set up a library that is sorta global but not really system global.

This is a misreading (or misrepresentation) of Rubin's work. What he showed (in, for example, his 1987 letter to CACM) is that there are *some* situations where goto...

For example, a philosophy prof came to the Computer Center and wanted a library that would

1. Allow his students to automatically be included in their BASIC programs 2. Allow him to change the Boolian outcomes of the truth tables on the fly. 3. This code had to be available whenever a student logged in. 4. This code had to be protected so that students could not modify. 5. The results of all student usage of this code had to be saved on the disk.

BAH
