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

I'd never heard of that one up to now.
