I twice attributed your name   (for the real nifty idea of using the differences of two 5th powers to help eliminate solutions)   for the Rosetta Code task   Euler's sum of powers conjecture.

If you don't wish to have your name mentioned in this public forum, let me know and I'll remove the references.   -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 23:06, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

No PB and merci . FYI I used to code in HPL (a long time ago). HPL was used to deliver the Level 64 Bull (Honeywell-Bull) series.--G.Brougnard (talk) 10:30, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

HPL

Is that the same HPL that I knew in 1969 or so (while I was working for Honeywell)?   Honeywell Programming Language   was a dialect of   PL/I.   -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 17:21, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

Yes indeed. I was working with Bull around 1969, and Bull and Honeywell had a common project (internal code P-series, if I remember, the mass storage controller ( 256 Mo disks ...) was built by Honeywell), which ultimately led to the Level-64 Bull series, which were IBM/360-like computers.
