Of course, with 22 actors and one controller.  A complex application 
with a load of observers.  It's real time application: the whole 
processing has to complete within 90 minutes (plus some slack for 
special cases).  Unfortunately they did not get rid of punch cards yet 
and to make matters worse they have two different kinds of these cards. 
  That's also the reason why sometimes there are drop outs and not all 
processors continue processing until the end.  Bugs creep into every 
program - even if it's written in Lisp and uses a friendly green screen.
