Let*Go*Elmo Let*Go*Elmo<p>For some reason, the memory of my box of fortran punch cards suspended in mid-air as I attempted, unsuccessfully, to move it from the bookshelf to my desk back in 1975 before they disintermediated themselves all over the floor, desk, file cabinet, and a few even found their way into the garbage can. What a mess. <br />* I was able to re-assemble them, Assembler doesn&#39;t work for this purpose fwiw, and complete the project with a passing grade! It was only pass/fail.

JdeBP<p>The "<a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wikipedia</span></a> is not a web host" policy is aimed at the people, especially in the early years when there were few other wikis, who would come along and dump their own projects into hidden corners of Wikipedia. Or even blatantly.</p><p>The "Wikipedia is not a how-to" policy is likewise aimed at the people who saw an open-access wiki as a place to dump Usenet how-tos and the like, which are easy to tell from an encyclopaedia because of their "do A. do B. do C." natures.</p><p>Neither applies to people who invented ForTran four decades before Wikipedia existed. And wrote their doco on paper. Sometimes with holes in.</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Fortran_95_language_features" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedi</span><span class="invisible">a:Articles_for_deletion/Fortran_95_language_features</span></a></p><p>It is all too common to see the how-to prohibition aimed at stuff that to any programmer is clearly reference, not tutorial. I do wonder sometimes if some people have ever read a tutorial and know what one looks like.
