Note the lack of a universal qualifier. Are you claiming that all algorithms were developed first in machine code, much less all algorithms developed in the 1960's and 1970's? For that matter, do you know of *any* algorithm that was first developed in machine code? I'm sure that there were some, but I'd expect them to be rare as hen's teeth and mostly limited to the 1950's and very early 1950's. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
