It's Fortran day! Here's a fun general purpose program to compute spacecraft turn maneuvers: https://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19720023254.pdf
In the early 1990s, I wrote Fortran code to generate the Revenue, Pieces, and Weight reports for the US Postal Service.
Every month we'd get a tape compiled from the Postal Data Centers, and hundreds of 5.25 floppies from small post offices and aggregate the data.

I wrote those on EMACS on a Data General Horizon.
I did have to run punch card decks for a couple of my classes at UT Austin in the 1980's.
Talking about cloud budgets these days (esp. Big Query jobs) brought back memories of seeing my Computation Center balance on the printouts from punch card decks, and jobs submitted to batch from the terminal.
