<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Well that's certainly before ICs I think that was
in the 1950s and it was some early calculators that killed slide rules. What
kind of "processor" were they using? I'm not so sure there was real HLL before
Adm. Hopper. And no binary by Babbge. Do you have any links or anything from
the '40s?</FONT></DIV>

not so sure about that. I have documents from as early as 1948 showing
programming in machine language, though each of these use decimal numbers
for the opcodes and addresses. While of course many machines were
binary internally, I've never seen anyone actually code programs in
binary.<BR><BR>paul<BR><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
