The programs are still out there, but in FORTRAN IV.  The biggest 
problem is you
don't have the line printers around to give you the OVER STRIKE 
graphics. Look
for ASCII ART on the web, I belive somebody may have solved that problem.
If you can get the IBM-1130 working under SIMH I think you will have the 
best
chance of getting it to work. Remember the graphics deck is needed as 
well as the
program deck of cards.
