> Recently, I received a note from Tony Barr who was the developer who started the SAS project at NCSU. As the subject implies, he recently gave a lecture at NCSU in which he recounts how he came to be hired as the initial developer and how some of the very basic features of what we call SAS came into existence. For one thing, he tells of how Barry Merrill was an early user and would often call up and ask for whacko informats and other features that would help him read the system records of mainframes. I had long suspected that Dr. Merrill had had such an influence and how this has given us such a robust ability to parse input files.
