this is abit off topic, but fortran is still king for numerical computing :P many major numerical simulations for computational chemistry and physics (maths too i guess) are written in f90 and continue to be written in the newer fortran standards. and octave as nice as it is often isn't prefered by scientists as it at times lacks features that these people want (for whatever reason either performance or features). jimmy. -- Sent from my Nokia mobile phone
