A now primitive (but advanced at the time) legal description program I created thirty years ago for the Wang 2200 at Cella Barr in Tucson. It was pretty efficient for 1984, and it cut way down on typos. Time has sure marched on.
So it was a Small Wang program?
😛
It was a Bruce Small small program on the big Wang2200, which produced big results one small step at a time.
:good:
Were you also using Holguin ADC210 Gogo software on that Wang? That was a great cogo program!
No, we used my programs, COGO in BASIC. I've always used my own programs, going back to 1965 with an IBM card-based system.
Yep.
That was a good program, Bruce.
We had the Wang with the Holguin and the Legal Description program.
It was a long time till we found something else!
Thank you!
I worked with a Wang 2200 from 1980 to 1983, and wrote some of my first LDP programs on it (programs were pretty crude, but the Wang ROCKED). It took me a while to get used to GWBASIC when I got my first PC, I thought that Wang BASIC had some really cool "commands" that GWBASIC lacked.

Wang 2200, remember it well along with Houlgin CEADS software. The 10 meg drive platter was the size of a "LP album", remember them? 😉
Does everybody have something better now, or is that program worth converting to a modern PC environment?
It was converted, back in the 90's, by a surveyor named Bill Giel in Connecticut. It's a non-graphic DOS based program called BASIS, but I was running up 'til a few years ago when I switched out from XP. He had some cool lisp routines for ACAD, but after a while it was too hard to keep up with things. Really great for its time though!
