Re: Fortran only for engineering people.

 I work on a manufacturing system which runs a company (Accounts Rec, accounts
payable, general ledger and so on) which is almost all written in vax fortran.

It is something on the order of over 100 megs of code.  Many times, language
choice isn't that important.
