Re: [COFF] On having a slash

'Way back then, when dinosaurs strode the earth and System/360 reigned supreme, we were taught to slash our zeros and sevens (can't quite find the glyphs for them right now) in order to distinguish them from Oscars and Ones for the benefit of the keypunch girls...' I slash both zeros and sevens too. With regards to the zero I learned it at the university in the 70ths, however I believe that slashing sevens I learned already in the school days(60ths) or even at home by my parents (50ths).
