Hey guys, you have *GOT* to read this posting! It's much to long to include in this follow-up, but believe me, it's worth subscibing to net.nlang.greek just to read. Ignore the first paragraph, it's just a blind to make those scanning quickly miss the meat of the posting. The line-count is the spoiler, though. Those who are having a love-affair with FORTRAN, though, had best 'caveat emptor'.

I recall seeing an Nth-generation photocopy of it circa 1982. AWR
