IBM360 using a program written in Fortran. OT (old Time): Sorry, not even close. I've written a couple of Fortran Compilers (along with others) and used the IBM 7094/90 precursor to the IBM 370/360 as well as the 360. BUT, the IBM 010 was a card punch machine. Worked for a competitor of IBM, so had to call them Hollerith cards, not IBM cards. IBM 010 here: infolab.stanford.edu The one I used was mechanical, not electrical. You may remember the punched cards from seeing our Florida presidential elections a few years back. o~~~ O
