Having DDT loaded with the program does not make the .EXE writeable.
Having DDT loaded does not change the addresses of code or data.
Neither of these are relevant to the discussion at hand.

Please tell us, what would be an impure .EXE?

An .EXE file by definition uses absolute addresses.  That's what LINK does.  It
takes as input the relocatable code from .REL files and resolves the addresses.
The resulting .EXE can be slapped directly into memory with a series of block
transfers and then executed.

It is highly unlike a SETUWP would be used in a FORTRAN program.

Again, none of this is relevant to the discussion at hand.  You demonstrate
no comprehension of the issue, and rather than admit your ignorance, you throw
out unrelated crap and pretend you know what you're talking about.

No one has to prove you wrong.  It's been clearly demonstrated.  You are
either too obstinate, too ignorant -- or both -- to recognize it.

Go back and read the code fragment again.  It's FORTRAN, even you should
be able to figure it out.  To begin with, the program doesn't even store the
score.  It's only calculated when needed.
