70's and 80's here. Big fast printers. I know, who does massive code listings or memory dumps anymore? I feel that if I had one, I'd be using it all of the time, though.
massive code listings or memory dumps anymore?
When I started in mainframe programming, our organization had a license for a core dump formatting package that would do a lot of cross referencing for you and even break down COBOL into assembler on a line by line basis for you. Well thought out little things like that made a big difference.It took a fair number of pages to get up to speed and a largish chunk of a box of paper just to stop.
Postcript? Ha.
You're joking.
