  • IBM 1620.
  • IBM 1130.
  • IBM System/360 DOS.
  • DEC PDP-10, TOPS-10.
  • Burroughs 5500, MCP.
  • XDS Sigma 7, BTM, UTS.
  • IBM System/360, /370, etc. VM.

  • various others, including DEC PDP-8, PDP-11, 1401, Univac 1108, IBM System/7.

Computer Interests

[edit]
  • The PL/I programming language. I have been a PL/I enthusiast since 1967. I am an evangelist for the language, and also work to retrieve old PL/I software and documentation to make it accessible on the web. I manage "The PL/I Language", a website devoted to PL/I. I have a large collection of PL/I books and materials, and hope eventually to write a history of the language.
  • Software Archaeology. I would like to spend more time with the revived Multics Operating System and IBM TSS. I am trying to help with the revival of the XDS CP-V operating system.
  • OS/2. I started using OS/2 2.0 at introduction. I have been an OS/2 supporter and member of Team-OS/2. I moved to eCS and then to ArcaOS.
  • Since retirement in 2010 I have written a PL/I compiler, and founded and run Iron Spring Software. I hope to promote use of PL/I and maybe eventually make some money.
  • I have been a contributor to Wikipedia since 2008, mostly minor changes to articles in my areas of interest, and occasional articles on subjects where I have some knowledge and Wikipedia has no information.

Previously, I enjoyed taking (not-very-good) photos of local Saratoga Springs and Troy, New York historical sites, some of which I uploaded to Wikipedia. If anyone wants to take a better photo, you won't hurt my feelings if you replace mine.

One thought on “Cannabaceae

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
