Salt and pepper!

Wow - I keep code from years and years ago - 1988 - VAX-11 basic ran in VAX/VMS minicomputers.
UNLESS/THEN - which we used heavily back in the PDP-11 days - was DEPRECATED by Digital Equipment Copr (DEC) - so we had to run through all our code looking for UNLESS THEN's and changing them to
IF NOT cond THEN
I found one UNLESS/THEN commented out - and one switched to an IF NOT.
I also found an UNLESS as a modifier. You could put it after the "code to execute".
X = 1 UNLESS X > 100
X = 1 IF X < 1
X = X + 1 WHILE X < 100
X = X + 1 UNTIL X > 100
All valid "modifiers" back in the 80's on that machine.
I don't think it works that way -> http://www.explorevitamins.co.uk/eff...bsorption.html, although the low levels of caffeine in most soft drinks probably has little detrimental effect!
That was cool! And I guess UNLESS is kinda quick and dirty way for conditional statements
When I saw AC/DC, angus looked like he was going to break a hip up on stage, but he still played great.
More BASIC-11 Manual screen shots...
It was needed because it all came from a place where IF / THEN was at first single line - wow that was hard to use
Then multi-line - but without END statements. A new line # cleared the IF/THEN when used in block mode. And you could also have ELSE - and again the NEW LINE # cleared the IF/THEN/ELSE.
So conditionals where not just quick and dirty - they were required because of how ugly the END of the IF-block was back in that syntax.
Imagine - we wrote whole financial AP/AR/GL and payroll systems with this stuff!
I'm a Van Halen fan too, not Van Hagar. So I was happy to see David Lee Roth up on stage ;]
Damn!!! Can't relax around dday9....Time to kick this into high gear....BEAST MODE ON!!!!
