Commented-Out Lines#

PRODSURF.BAS contains a few commented lines. They are only present in the TO9/TO8/TO9+ disk release from the Logiciels Nathan Ecoles : Mathématiques compilation, and not in the preserved tape releases, including the one for the Thomson MO series.

Lines 2 to 4 contain a credit to programmer Serge Pouts-Lajus and a build date of August 1984:

' Titre : Multiplication.Surface
' Auteur: SERGE POUTS-LAJUS
' Date  : Aout 84

Lines 8935, 8950 and 8970 are commands to open an "INSTIT" file, get a parameter named "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO", and close it. These are also present, in the exact same positions, in Avant et Après.

'OPEN"I",#1,"INSTIT"
'INPUT#1,OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
'CLOSE#1
