... I am developing an Informed Prefetching and Caching system as part of the kernel in which it is very important that the memory assigned to hold the data does not get swapped to disk. Without any thought to swapping I used vmalloc() to assign memory to the data structures of the Informed prefetching system. ... I later realized that most probably the pages assigned using vmalloc() were getting swapped to the disk and when I referenced them, they were brought from the disk rather than memory. ...

... For any PostScript hardcopy printer that has been assigned by ASSIGN/GRAPH , MIDAS produces a so-called encapsulated PostScript file. Using a public domain macro package ( e.g. Psfig/TeX) this PostScript plot file can, with a minimum of effort, be included in TeX or LaTeX documents. To do so, in the TeX or LaTeX document one should refer to the (possibly renamed) MIDAS PostScript file (normally pscrplot.ps ). ... Here is how the LaTeX text file with the included MIDAS plot then looks like. ...

As conditional or control statements you have IF in many variants (but essentially not changed from Fortran 77), DO (with some new variants) and the completely new statement CASE .
