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.

Note OFF-TOPIC good pin-up calendars from JAPAN run $45 to $75
US each ...
