Even though I said this wasn’t a high priority, I did some more work on my greenbar program. Seems to do a pretty fair job. Not exactly an example of my finest programming skills. A lot of trial and error rather than properly understanding the process. I think I understood it better a few years ago when I 1st started playing with it. Anywho…I’m looking to capture more of the nostalgic feel rather than an exact precision duplication of a greenbar listing. I think I did a pretty fair job. Probably needs more tractor holes among many other things. Works on the Hercules local prt file prt00e.txt AND GnuCOBOL files, especially when compiled with GnuCOBOL’s xref switch…looks very IBMish!
Here’s a GnuCOBOL example printed on the famous orange bar paper, so popular in IBM computer shops, for the fall season! Just kidding…no such paper as far as I know : )
