I liked Fortran (at the time), and still have my books, I hated the fact that I...
1) couldn't generate ASCII code, so I couldn't do screen formating, on the Wyse terminals,
connected to the Prime, we were on...
Primos = Evil

2) That formating was such a pain...the Watfor (What for?) was such a pain...

Pray tell, what in the world are you using, that still has a Fortran program associated
with it?

Hey, at least you don't have to repunch the cards...
