Would you believe Samson himself had forgotten this? Seemed incredulous, even. It suggests that they don't have that compiler at the restoration project.

lovely!
Tnx!
To clarify.... The music compiler we are running at the PDP-1 restoration project was assembled by me from source code in my possession dated 5/21/63. It does not contain the agm error; in fact it contains neither the string ag nor the string gm. Perhaps that error was added later by someone else. Regards, --prs.
