My Programming Background ● Started with ZX BASIC on ZX81 and ZX Spectrum ● Moved on to Mallard BASIC (Amstrad PCW) and then to (the excellent and still my favourite) GFA BASIC (Atari ST) ● Learnt Pascal, C, Ada, C++, and OCCAM at University ● Learnt Java professionally, then never used it much ● For my sins, programmed in Perl and PHP for (far too many) years. ● Also wrote bad JavaScript, tried to learn good JavaScript, and toyed with stuff like AngularJS, Node.js and React.js ● Done some Python (nice) and Ruby (hmm) ● Basically messed about with lots of languages over the years COBOL - History ● COmmon Business Orientated Language (Completely Obsolete Business Orientated Language?) ● “Invented” by Grace Hopper, who was the inventor of FLOW-MATIC. ● Standardised between 1959 and 1960 by our friends at the Pentagon by the group CODASYL. ● Design goal was to be platform and proprietor independent. COBOL - History ● Appeared in 1959. ● CODASYL COBOL-60 ● ANSI COBOL-68 ● ANSI COBOL-74 (at this point the most used language in world) ● ANSI COBOL-85 (structured programming additions) ● ISO COBOL-2002 (object orientated additions) ● ISO COBOL-2014 (dynamic tables and modular features) Genealogy COBOL: pros & cons ● It's arguably very well adapted to its domain ● There's a LOT of legacy code, which is of finance and mass data processing. spaghetti-like (but then there's a lot of JavaScript like that!) ● It's verbose and this helps readability of code and thus is said to be self-documenting.

    Appendix A CP/M Software A major feature of the PCW8256/8512 is that it uses the CP/M operating system which means you can use a wide range of standard software products. Note that some of this software requires a second disk drive. Because new software is continually being made available for these machines it is impossible to produce a complete list. However, it is hoped that this list (compiled in Summer 1986) will demonstrate that the PCW is more than just a Word Processor!

  • The Changing Face of the History of Computing: the Role of Emulation in Protecting Our Digital Heritage
    The Changing Face of the History of Computing: The Role of Emulation in Protecting Our Digital Heritage David Anderson, Janet Delve, and Vaughan Powell Future Proof Computing Group, School of Creative Technologies, University of Portsmouth, UK [email protected], {Janet.Delve,vaughan.powell}@port.ac.uk Abstract. It is becoming increasingly common for some source material to arrive on our desks after having been transferred to digital format, but little of the material on which we work was actually born digital. Anyone whose work is being done today is likely to leave behind very little that is not digital. Being digital changes everything. This article discusses the issues involved in the protection of digital objects. Keywords: digital preservation. Erasmus summarised well the outlook of many historians of computing when he remarked “When I get a little money, I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes”! Most of us love second-hand bookshops, libraries and archives, their smell, their restful atmosphere, the ever-present promise of discovery, and the deep intoxication produced by having the accumulated knowledge of the world literally at our fingertips. Our research obliges us to spend many happy hours uncovering and studying old letters, notebooks, and other paper-based records. It is becoming increasingly common for some source material to arrive on our desks after having been transferred to digital format, but little of the material on which we work was actually born digital. Future historians of computing will have a very different experience. Doubtless they, like us, will continue to privilege primary sources over secondary, and perhaps written sources will still be preferred to other forms of historical record, but for the first time since the emergence of writing systems some 4,000 years ago, scholars will be increasingly unable to access directly historical material.

  • Amstrad Pc1640 Technical Manual
    Cover Index Contents Preface This Technical Reference Manual is intended primarily to assist writers of software for the Amstrad PC1640, although in conjunction with the PC1640 Service Manual it will be of interest to designers of add-on hardware. It is assumed that the reader has a working knowledge of the Industry Standard architecture comprising of an 8086 (or 8088) with DMA, PIT, RTC and Interrupt Controller support chips; plus Extended Graphics Adapter (or Color Graphics Adapter) with Floppy Disk, Serial and Parallel Adapters. The information contained herein is largely unique to this document, with the exception of parts of the appendices which expand on the information contained in the PC1640 User Instructions and the Microsoft MSDOS Reference Manual. Whilst the PC1640 implements a superset of the Industry Standard, this manual makes no attempt to identify those areas of the PC1640 specification which exceed the Industry Standard. Users should, therefore, exercise caution when writing software for a range of manufacturers' PCs and only use the "Lowest Common Denominator" facilities if simple portability is required. © Copyright 1987 AMSTRAD Plc.
