It is pretty funny reading messages about programmers bashing FORTRAN. There are computer languages that are better suited for some tasks than other computer languages. To say "FORTRAN stinks!" or " C is for techno-geek-wimps" is silly. They are just tools. "If all you have is a hammer then everything looks like a nail." applies here. Another would be "There are no bad computer languages just dumb programmers who don't know how or when to use them." Ron
