Have you ever considered comments? They not only allow you to emphasize important sections of code, you can even explain why they are important. I understand that this facility is even available in FORTRAN, but fortunately if you do object to it, you need only remove the cards with a C in column one. Should be easy enough to rewire the card sorter to do that automatically for you! :-) -- John Woods, Charles River Data Systems, Framingham MA, (508) 626-1101 ...!decvax!frog!john, john@frog.UUCP, ...!mit-eddie!jfw, jfw@eddie.mit.edu
