  22. What's all these funny apostrophes ? Must be something wimpy they added
  23. to the language after I learned it. Try
  24.   85367 FORMAT(100(3H:-)X22HFOR THE HUMOR-IMPARED.)/)
  25. Note the spelling, which indicates a Real Programmer.
  26. Anyone want to find a compiler which still accepts this ? I know it's not
  27. standard compliant, just customary.
