	More seriously, Fortran is used by people who are doing
	industrial strength computing such as number crunching,
	string manipulation, matrix stuff, complex variables, etc.
	When dealing with problems which are naturally expressed
	in multi-dimensional arrays, Fortran is the way to go.

	Fortran for full-contact programming!


String Manipulation??????????  Then why have I posted a message asking for
string manipulation routines?
