Re: Programming

Try searching for what would know have been called a memory leak.
Using FORTRAN IV, no debuggers around. Adding a trace statement simply moved where the fault appeared. Weeks upon weeks searching, only to find out it was a complier problem.


In those days if you needed a database, you had to do itself. If you needed to do various transformations of a model in 3D space, then again you had to do it yourself using A level maths. No getting a Microsoft library to handle it all.


Computers and programming have changed so much in the past 50 years.
