   Ummm ... STILL mostly stick to the Original Product.
   Can't go wrong.

   Yea, but not so MANY of you in the world ...

   It's a relatively rare/important skill.

   A pre-threaded bi-di TCP daemon does not require
   THAT much code these days, but the routines that
   code invokes are *complicated*. Do NOT wanna go
   to THAT level.

   F77

   Adequate for the purpose.

   It was a 'decent' language even then. More 'friendly'
   now, but be careful how much 'solid'/'simple' you trade
   for "friendly".

   NOT sure if there are still NATIVE F77 compilers for
   Linux. Things like gFortran - just 'C' translators -
   may as well just do it in 'C' to begin with.

   I *think* there are still native F77 compilers for
   Linux - but quick searches don't name them anymore.
   Maybe 'flang-16' ... but it's reputed to be missing
   some stuff. Good old 8-bit compilers ... Intel 'fixed'
   THAT. DO have an old core2-quad box that still runs
   8-bit however.
