This was back in the seventies. ---THe info was obtained fresh from the www on the day (Wed 9 Oct). According to the U/G bulletin for 1995/6, the subject 360 Numerical Calculus requires "a working knowledge of PL/I programming". From that, I concluded that somewhere was a course that taught PL/I. Perhaps that is taught by another department? >Marco Valtorta, Associate Professor and Undergraduate Director >Department of Computer Science internet: mgv@usceast.cs.sc.edu >University of South Carolina tel.: (1)(803)777-4641 fax: -3767 >Columbia, SC 29208, U.S.A. http://www.cs.sc.edu/~mgv/ tlx: 805038 USC
