Right, 3270 was the terminal. Wonderful beasts :).
Anyway, this reminded me of an experiment I did a couple of years ago with
wrapping the BerkeleyDB library in Fortran. I never had much use for it,
but it works for small enough value of "work".
But this is diverting a lot from the purpose of thi
That would have been a 360/370 IBM Mini. The 3270 was the "smart" terminal.

Yes, I use data
Well, that is indeed something completely different.My main frame of
reference (pun not intentional) of that era was our IBM mini, I am not
quite sure of the type number, 3270? It had a very specific record
structure for unformatted files. Normally that was almost completely
hidden, except in the j
Thank you!

Hello Arjen,
Thanks for your reply.
You are confusing RMS Files-11 file versioning with Indexing.
Sorry, this got away from me. Once I started I couldn't stop.
Real computers, didn't matter who made them or their OS, all provided at
least one type of indexed file. These were business class pl

Indeed we h
I have never worked much with VAXes, but I do remember that VAX used a file
system where you made a new version of a file and the older versions were
automatically kept. I guess that is the purpose of the INDEXED
organisation. It is not so much a limitation of gfortran that it does not
support this

All,
I'm getting back into Fortran after many years away and was going to
start with my goto kick the tires application. Basically the lottery
tracking system found in this book.

The first cut was Fortran 77 on the VAX. There we could cre
