It looks like I failed to teach how to write "Fortran", however :-(. ================================================================= Hi Walt. I'm sending along this email for 2 reasons. First, to tell you once again how much I enjoyed the advanced FORTRAN course you presented for us in Chalk River. Since then, I've taken what is probably an unprecedented step in safety analysis legacy codes. I've made an addition to a 30-year old code using the O-O capabilities in FORTRAN-95. Using a module, with private data members and access routines is almost unheard of in our environment, but it seems to be working flawlessly with all the advantages inherent in the FORTRAN language. -- Walt Brainerd +1-877-355-6640 (voice & fax) The Fortran Company +1-520-760-1397 (outside USA) 6025 N.
