Hello, Lets have a little contest here, I'm going to give you
all a problem, and lets see who can write the FORTRAN program
to solve it first.  C'mon this'll be fun!!!
.
Here we go....
.
You are in charge of payroll for the ACME Vending Co., Inc..
It is your job to write a program which will print a payroll
report for the 10 employees of the company.  To prepare the
payroll report, you must READ the identification number, hours
worked, hourly rate, and tax rate, for each employee.  After
entering this information for all employees, the screen should
be cleared before the OUTPUT is presented.  All of this
information is to be printed along with the gross pay, regular
pay, overtime pay, deductions for taxes, and net pay.  The last
line of OUTPUT should be:

"The total gross payroll for the week is _________".

Overtime is considered anything over 40 hours per week.
Overtime pay is worth 1.55 times the regular hourly rate.

Output should look like this:

NAME    ID    GROSS    REG   OVT   DED        NET PAY
====    ==    =====    ===   ===   ===        =======

The spacing between headings shown above is not significant.


Here is some samples of the data that will be used to test
the program:

NAME        ID         HRS         RATE        TAX

CARR        7056       56.8        6.71         .3
ELS         9111       63.2        7.3          .17
CAMPBELL    7958       40.4        7.5          .22

THERE WILL ALSO BE 7 MORE!

So, there you have it...  The first person who sends the CORRECT
program listing WINS.  You can use any version of FORTRAN you
like, but keep it BASIC.  There will be a panel of 4 people to
judge the listings, and a prize WILL be awarded!  So...

G O  T O  I T !!!!!
