I know I'm not supposed to follow up my own posts, but this is truly an amazing update! We (being Claude and I) just got Simon and his Daughter's 1962 IPL-V version of Victor Yngve's famous (1961) random sentence generator (originally in COMIT), to run on Paul Kimpel's amazing IBM 1620 emulator using Beyer and MacDonald's 1963 IPL-V comterpreter (from U Oregon)! If you don't want to wade through all the running of it yourself (which, BTW, I highly recommend, it's AWESOME TO SEE IT ACTUALLY RUN!) you can see the output at: https://github.com/jeffshrager/ExecutableArchaeology/blob/ma...
