   Ah, good old FORTRAN ... haven't writ anything
   substantial in that ... maybe 30 years now.
   However it IS good and CAN do great stuff. IMHO
   it's more readable than COBOL even though COBOL
   always sold itself on being more readable. Write
   a few needed string functions and ......

   Before I retired I *did* write a useful little
   utility they'd want - in FORTRAN - just to
   afflict the New Guys who didn't seem capable
   of even six lines of Python  :-)

   Assembler CAN be faster, but you have to write
   good tight assembler. Some micro-controller
   experience helps with that. When RAM/storage is
   oft measured in BYTES you've gotta do clever work.
