Also Kudos to all the FORTRAN programmers (Or ex-FORTRAN)!!! It was and still is a wonderful language for math as well as whatever else it could do with extensions.. My flavor we used for the longest time was the DEC VAX line.. When we left the VAXen, after a long time of searching, I choose Perl for the next language, as it ran on VAX, PC, Unix, Linux, etc.. (no CP/M, tho! ;-) But that first computer is long gone...) Guess I just dated my self.. Now I've just written my first interface with MS-SQL Server..
