International PI Day Is Coming
-
Oh, no... back to therapy... :sigh: Here's a comment I wrote nearly twenty years ago:
// The version of PI we are currently running does not include pisn_sendexcepstruc which we want to use
// so it is commented out and pisn_sendexceptions is used instead.
// When pisn_sendexcepstruc becomes available, this should be changed// pisn_sendexcepstruc(line_array [line].tag [index].pt ,
// line_array [line].tag [index].type ,
// &(line_array [line].tag [index].except) ,
// &(line_array [line].tag [index].count));Oooo... API calls... been using the SDK for so long now, I forgot out all of that joy. Mind you, my experience goes back to Toolkit calls when it was on VAX/VMS.

Yes. This was that. The fall of 1995. The guy who hired me called it "an Alpha-based VAX", which makes no sense at all, like saying "Pentium-based 486".

Not in this part of the world. dd/mm/yyyy here.* For us, there is a somewhat coarse way: 22/7. (355/113 is better, but no day like that). Nothing like 3.141592653 seems possible here :-( * India

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein -

VAX/VMS was originally a 32bit system. In the early '90s it was ported to the Alpha chip (64bit) Perhaps you were being informed you would be working on the 64bit (Alpha-based) version?

That would just be an Alpha (as I'm sure it was), with which I was already familiar. It's also possible the system had originally been a VAX and then refurbished to be an Alpha. :shrug:

Any talk of VAX/VMS in these fora, and I feel obliged to draw everyone's attention to my license plate[^]. /ravi

You must have a different calendar than what we do in the US. For us, April has only 30 days. :-D
