It may have been missing some modern features, but at least it worked. That is more than I can say about the f77 delivered with v6. We're talking about things like logical if statements not working right. Raise your hand if you ran the Princeton port of RT-11 Fortran on your v6 machine. From the early days of Unix, Fortran has been a bastard son, grudgingly supported, but not really given the same respect as C. This has been less true over the past couple of years, but the bigotry still shows through. -- Roy Smith, Public Health Research Institute 455 First Avenue, New York, NY 10016 {att,philabs,cmcl2,rutgers,hombre}!phri!roy -or- roy@alanine.phri.nyu.edu "The connector is the network"
