I've done Fortran. Then I did Ratfor, which was huge fun. A supervisory system for a bulk grain terminal PLC system. If you want to try Fortran today, I'd suggest the GNU Fortran compiler. It can target Windows 64, Windows 32, Linux, and many other platforms. Don't expect it to be easy though. You have to think like you have a stack of punch cards. ;-) On Mon, Aug 29, 2016 at 11:58:46PM -0500, Richard Pope wrote: > Allen, > I understand.
