I was born in 1952. GenX ARE young folks. Most of them probably can't even write Fortran!

    I am only a few years younger than you. While I could write some Fortran at some very distant point in the past (but was never an expert at it), I am certainly no longer able to do it.

    "...can't even write Fortran..."

    But this seems not to be so difficult. Even me can (born '56):

    program hello print *, "I'm a very stable genius!" end program hello
    karls-mac-mini:fortran karl$ gfortran -o kgb kgb.f90
    karls-mac-mini:fortran karl$ ./kgb I'm a very stable genius!

    A very wish of me came true tonight: I learned some Fortran in about 5m.

    Best regards, Karl
