Nothing personal, just that 100% of code I have ever seen published on
any book/paper contains 0% f77 and 100% f66. That is, no IF/THEN/ELSE/ENDIF
but rather IF() 10 20 30 ...

Most annoying to see "conversion to other languages is easy" or "maximum
readability" and then constructs like IF () GOTO 30 ... 30 CONTINUE

I would have liked to see arithmetic IF removed from f88...

Hi. I'm not home right now. But if you want to leave a message, just start
talking at the sound of the tone.
