I expect most Dusty Decks readers are aware of alt.folklore.computers, but it’s worth noting Rob Storey’s recent post IBM 7094 Emulator now runs Fortran compiler<\/a>. As I posted<\/a> in June, Rob has written a IBM 7094 emulator<\/a>. Through the work of James Fehlinger, the emulator can load and execute the compiler, and then execute the result, at least for a “hello, world” program.*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob suggested others might want to get additional programs running on the emulator, and suggested several that are available. Leif Harcke<\/a> suggested CTSS<\/a> (M.I.T.’s Compatible Time Sharing System), using the tapes available from Paul Pierce’s collection<\/a>. I mentioned this to Tom Van Vleck<\/a>; he took a look at the tapes and lent<\/a> his enthusiastic support. Rob is happy to make the necessary “hardware modifications” (known as RPQ’s) to the emulator if someone will supply him with a specification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* As of 2024\/05\/07 the latest version of the emulator is here: https:\/\/github.com\/Bertoid1311\/B7094<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
