FORTRAN? Brian you young people don't know how easy you have it. When I was young, Fortran had not even been invented yet. We used the predecessor language, which was called Befortran, along with Aramaic and Sanskrit. And we didn't have any of these fancy modern compilers either. We had a manual compiler. You loaded your Befortran code into the top, cranked the handle until it became hard to turn, or your arm fell off whichever came first, then we would unscrew the top and there was your compiled code was inside. But you try to tell young people today how it was, and they don't believe you. spike _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list [email protected] http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
