The first FORTRAN programs that I wrote were a version called FORTRAN WITH FORMAT that ran on an old 1401. This was 1969. The compiler booted from an old dogeared card deck and somewhere around the middle of the deck there was a bent card. You had to slap the side of the card reader to get it going. I remember carrying a tray full of a hundred or so carefully typed program and data cards to the computer room. There was a small control deck that loaded first and then the compiler and behind that the FORTRAN source and then the data deck. Upper classmen on passing a freshman in the hall carrying deck would knock the tray so that the cards would fall on the floor and needed to be sorted all over again.
