RE: A brief detour....;-)

Good morning all:

  Well some good news, especially for April Wells. I could not find the TSO/CLIST version of the workshop (we removed it from the class and replaced it with another complicated workshop from the Data Structures and PL/I Exercise handbook), however, I think I found the PL/I version. I will have to wait until next week when our instructors are back from Europe and I will ping them.

  Jared: Given that we don't like attachments, any ideas on how to post this thing? Reply direct to me.

Thank You

Back in the early 80's at school we had a towers of hanoi running in PL/1 On Nixdorf 8820, a teletype with matrix printer, printing out the full configuration after every move you made....
