from the Major
Universities(i.e. Purdue, Columbia, etc.) come to Miami-Dade because we were one of the very first if not the first college to have a Computer Science curriculum(It was called EDP, Electronic Data Processing!). These Universities did not have a EDP degree program and they eventually copied Miami-Dade's program! In the computer lab where the college's computer was we had fun making Snoopy bigger and bigger to fool the person giving the demo! smile! Oh by the way! I did use Snoopy on a IBM 1130 on my job! We also did Business programming on the IBM 1130 in FORTRAN! COBOL was not invented yet!
287:. As someone who actually worked on an 1130 I don't recall ever seeing a snoopy calendar. My opinion would be changed if some references were provided. I suspect that if there are references, they would not be 1130 specific so the article would need to be renamed. If the consensus is to not keep, then a transwiki to

WP is not sourceforge. A better formatted article more encyclopedic in content and tone may be warrented though(without any code). Sidenote: Though in the 90s I was an engineer for awhile on one of the most used commercial fortran compilers and I never once heard of this.

No, we should not "ignore all rules" in the face of original research which is most likely incorrect and untrue. If this is honestly a part of computing history as you claim, please dig up a couple reliable sources which reflect this and I will gladly change my position.

194:. The Snoopy calendar is a famous piece of computing history. It's a little strange to actually have the code in the article, yes, but I think it's short enough that it's worth keeping.

Historical interest or not, the full code does not belong into a
Knowledge (XXG) article, and the rest is so short that it's probably better off in some other article.
