It's seldom that I agree fully with Walt, but this is one of those times. There are many of us that think there are features that were added to Fortran 90 that should be obsoleted... and probably will be obsoleted after users discover how they really work. I'd also bet that Walt and I have no intersection between our lists of what new features should be obsoleted... It was just too good a line Walt... I couldn't resist a reply... :-)
