Alrighty so no dynamic memory management. Then should we limit memory
allocation to 1 MB per node? What's everybody got to offer?

1MB per node? With PDP11s? Are you crazy???

              Yeah put all those machines to work! PDP-11 for sure. So what's the
              common denominator for software development here? Do we all have C
              compilers? I was thinking of starting with something simple, like
              finding solutions to Beal's Conjecture for crazy large numbers.


      More common, and generating better code: FORTRAN 77.

                                        from VCF your

                                    Yes!   I haven't looked at them yet, but they're here,
              safe and
                                sound.
                                I'll work out a way to get them to you soon.


                        Cool!

                                    Back to work now.


                        Back to waiting on crap in my case. ;)
