Yes, I do.  Unlike you, I read them carefully.

I never mentioned the word "Fortran" in any of my articles.  CPU-bound
programs can be written in any language.

Unless I missed something, this thread was not about Fortran programming,
so your examples are irrelevant.  Now, you can stop reposting them ad

Apparently, Apple hasn't written its floppy formatting utility in Fortran,
and this shows :-)  Ditto for printing in foreground.
