- Mortran actually lived on in the Cray world disguised as
- SKOL in the old COS operating system. At one time, several
- significant pieces of COS were coded in it, including CSP
- (the control statement processor - COS's shell), and some of
- the original debugging tools. Over time, these were rewritten
- in raw Fortran, CAL (assembler), and Pascal (this was long before
- C became all the rage).
-
- There was even an undocumented extension in the old CFT Fortran
- compiler called 'IMPLICIT SKOL' which did something magical with
- variables starting with I00. But this is all dusty history and
- I don't remember what it did.
-
- No, we didn't port SKOL to Unicos. :-)
