> It references a 2D array using one subscript (albeit only in a PRINT statement). Does anybody remember which element that would access? Would it be the one in array-element order?
Not quite answering your question, but it was common practice in the 1960s to attempt pseudo-dynamic allocation by calling a subroutine with an argument which was a single element of a large local array and for the subroutine to declare the corresponding dummy argument as an array of any rank and size (and not necessarily the same type). Array-element order was always assumed.
