[net.lang] more on the subject of labeled parameters

taylor@sdccsu3.UUCP (04/12/84)

	At the risk of horrendous violence and abuse, I would like to
point out that Fortran has a structure exactly like that mentioned.  For
example, the Open statement;

	Open(3,"test.data")

and

	Open(File="test.data", LU=3)

	have the same function...not only that, but as I have so indicated,
the order is arbitrary too!

	Of course, this does not hold for user subroutines....
