	Visions of my college days -- Xerox Sigma 6 CP/V Extended FORTRAN IV.
We weren't even introduced to the concept of separate files (neither did
the COBOL class).

	Of course, the first FORTRAN compiler we were introduced to was FLAG
(FORTRAN Load And Go -- compile one source file, link it, and execute it
all in one operation). The single source file mode did make for long
listings of code, but simplified the linker pass: FORT <source>; LINK
<object>; <executable>
