I begin to believe that I have been reading naughty references, and that I should rather have said "statically typed". I am not familiar with modern Fortran. Surely it at least has argument prototyping by now? -- John W. Kennedy "You can, if you wish, class all science-fiction together; but it is about as perceptive as classing the works of Ballantyne, Conrad and W. W.
