extensions of FORTRAN II-D for the IBM 1620

from compl.lang.fortran
"Way back (mid 60's), I worked with PDQ Fortran on an IBM 1620 mod II (60K digits RAM, 7 meg hard drive). I go hold of the assembler code for the compiler, a derivative of Fortran with Format, and inserted some code to give it access to the line printer for listings, plus a few other things such as indexing within I/O lists. The main advantage of PDQ over Fortran II-D was speed on a machine without floating point hardware (a factor of 3), since the floating point numbers were stored as single fields in "excess-50" notation"
