Wow!  Can I get a gander at those when your done?  I've F83-88 here on
my 386SX.  I programmed a few things in SNOBOL until the local
university stole the computer away and put a (GASP!) Hulking Giant
in its place.  All the neat computer languages went out with the
old machine - languages like APL, COBOL, SNOBOL, SPITBOL (!), and so on.

Phew!  2M+?  Bunga bunga.  Does it function in 1M?
