“Shown here are frames from a 16mm film entitled “Man and his World” made in connection with Expo 67. the film was produced by programming in a special macro-extended version of the BEFLIX language ( which in turn is written in macro FAP). The output in each of the instance is a 252-by -184 array of Charac-tron characters produced by the StrombergCarlson 4020. the resulting black and white film was subsequently printed through sequences and combinations of colored filters and a sound track added by traditional methods."_
