Hi Robin You said: "... BTW, the change in format of the DO was essential in preventing the flaw in FORTRAN (which still exists) by which a period instead of the first comma changes the DO statement into an assignment statement. ..." Have you ever read the Datamation article regarding the comma which cost $15,00,000 (in the '60s)? Regards, David
