Heh. But only after they upgrade from Teco and SOS.

PS: Frightening thought: I still remember my EDT shortcuts.

In high school(1983) on a PDP-11 the nerds go-getters used TECO.  Everyone else was using EDT in line mode. 
In college on a VAX we used EDT in screen mode, I did when OpenVMS was paying the bills; and I still do on my hobbyist OpenVMS systems.

When I worked in DEC's consulting division, I actually wrote some code for a customer in LSE to allow them to view report files in a manner similar to how they had previously done it on the IBM system the VAX was replacing.

I said something like this to a younger colleague a few weeks ago, I got a 'deer in headlight' look as a response. God I'm old  .

Quote: Real men code with edlin.
oh yeah!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

sure !
I've use edlin on MS-DOS, e on OS/2, etc... but in the 80' 
now, Notepad++ fits to my needs
If there is no solution, there is no problem !

No, real mean code in binary with toggle switches...
|
|
|

I remember toggling in the bootstrap loader on the front panel of many a PDP-11. One time I must have toggled in the bootstrap loader on a particular PDP-11 at least a half dozen times with it failing to boot each time before I realized the system disk was still sitting on the table next to me.

That's about right.

Pascal allows you to specify the range. And with OOP you can define a class that implements arbitrary indexing, e.g. new MyArray ( -5 , 10 ) .

In a separate millenium I wrote a 1 based C++ string class - I think that was the best argument for zero based code I've ever seen.
