Amazing, isn't it, how one person can post the smallest piece of garbage and 
thus begin an argument which is not only riddiculous, but costs thousands of
dollars as well.  If you want to use C, go ahead.  There's a news group you
can read and you can bash FORTRAN _over_there_ all you like.  I'm sure that
most of the people who read this group are looking for advice in programming
rather than a childish debate on which is better: FORTRAN or C.  Both have
their uses and their users.  So why not stop wasting everyone's time, energy,
and money, and end this "debate"?
