Jay Maynard refers obliquely to:
IEFBR14
which prods me to remember that I once wrote an analogous program,
called:
IEFBR15
Quiz
(for certified old codgers only)
[private replies only - this has negative OM content]
(5 points) Explain the behavior of IEFBR15.
(50 points) Describe a beneficial use for IEFBR15.
[note: while IEFBR14 did indeed include a subtle bug, and fixing this
bug required doubling the number of instructions, IEFBR15 did not share
this problem and remains bug-free, some 30 years after it was first
keypunched.]
