Computer programming experience:
I started programming in 1960 with a university course on machine coding of DASK -
a huge water cooled vacuum-tube based monster with 10k RAM and 5-hole telex-tape
in-/output! In '64 it became GIER-ALGOL
programmes for the transistor based GIER computer, where the communication
was papertape via a 10 char/s Teletype. Huuh, it was fast! Later on I
programmed in BASIC and FORTRAN, and for programmable calculators from
HP and TI. In '88 I got my first real home computer, a NewBrain with 96k
RAM, for which I wrote programmes in BASIC and PASCAL: games, utilities,
a budget programme, and a word processor. Next step was an Amiga 500, where
I wrote more games, utilities, and a database programme. Now I'm using PCs
and I'm writing
programmes
in mainly MS Visual Basic 6 Pro, and databases and large macros in MS
Access and Visual Basic for Applications and PHP/MySQL. An example of a public available programme is
AcosHelp written in Visual Basic 6 Pro and
PowerBasic for Windows.
Hobbies):
yachting, tennis, bridge, computer programming, travelling, painting and writing texts for occasional songs.
