[HECnet] Re: quick help on RSX FORTRAN problem?

   /me slaps forehead    The 11/70's FP board set is flaky, and it has been removed pending repair.  I had forgotten about that.  But the "hello world"program shouldn't use any FP instructions..?    I don't think I can get over to LSSM today, but I will be working there tomorrow.              -Dave On 4/8/26 19:59, Johnny Billquist wrote: > Error 2, by the way is usually for one of three reasons: > > 1.
