   And before them, there was one on the DECUS SIG tape.  I recall
   trying to port it from VMS to TOPS-20.  The TOPS-20 Fortran compiler
   wasn't a fun thing to deal with when code assumed 4 characters per
   integer all over the place, something I had already dealt with going
   between a DECSYSTEM-10 and a Xerox Sigma 7 at school.
