Hi Art,

Are you awake? Did you sleep well? Did you dream of an 8008? When was that?
Did you know 8008x = 100010o? An unconscious link to 101010 or a slip of the
pen? Didn't you mean the 8088/8086/8087?

Try the following program:

DATA NULL;
  W = 'SAS';
  O = RANK ('A') - 1;
  DO _ = 1 TO 26;
    L = INDEX ( W, BYTE ( O + _ ) );
    S + _ * NOT NOT L;
    N + NOT NOT L;
  END;
  M = S / N;
  DO _ = 1 TO LENGTH(W);
    PUT M 2. @;
  END;
RUN;

Art, have a Goodnight sleep without dreaming of numbers and SAS [;-)

Regards - Jim.
