Algorithmic vs. Algorithm

It is my recollection that MAD stood for Michigan Algorithmic Decorder and not Michigan Algorighm Decoder. If anyone knows for certain, please make an entry on this talk page. JJ 00:56, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, "Michigan Algorithm Decoder" is correct. Jeff Ogden (talk) 20:06, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I distinctly remember it from my college days at University of Maryland. It was called Michigan Algorithmic Decoder. Maybe it had two names, depending on where it was used.

One other thing I distinctly remember, that is not mentioned anywhere in the article, is that you could use floating point subscripts and loop counters. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rcleaver (talk • contribs) 19:28, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
