CMPS115 was FORTRAN77 on punch cards. Thank $GOD I escaped that
by being friends with a guy who had an Apple II and a 300 baud
modem. Editing, though, was a *huge* hassle. The ancient-by-
1984-standards Burroughs mainframe was like IBM boxen: EBCIDIC
and smart terminals. It didn't do async ASCII very well. Better
than punch cards, though...
