Real Programmers do List Processing in FORTRAN. Real Programmers do String Manipulation in FORTRAN. Real Programmers do Accounting (if they do it at all!!) in FORTRAN. Real Programmers do Artificial Intellegence programs in FORTRAN. If you can't do it in FORTRAN, do it in Assembly Lang. or its not worth doing. Since FORTRAN doesn't have structured IF, REPEAT.. UNTIL, or CASE statements, Real Programmers don't have to worry about not using them. Besides, all those structures can be simulated, when necessary by using assigned GOTO's.
