JC,

Is that a self-build, or a commercial pre-built system? If you built it, what case and fans did you use? A system built into a tower case shouldn't have thermal throttling.

John,

Regardless of Robert's answer, here's mine. Should the team at SF be 'resting', 'stunned', 'pinin' for the fjords', 'shagged out after a long squawk' or whatever, before you (or I ) do, then ...

I really appreciate the explanations, but then I would always have used a DO loop.

If it works, then surely it is an extension.

Ken,

Fortran is archaic, and useless for graphics and plotting. Clearwin+, on the other hand, is what Fortran has always needed, and still does ...

You can copy the EXE and salflibc.dll to the other computer, manually or by using a batch file. By the time you start wanting to copy files to specific directories, (including setting them up in the ...

Blimey, Bill, I always put this sort of mistake down to autocorrect, but this one can only be geriatric brain fade!

INTEGER*4 or INTEGER*8, of course.

I put it down to my mind being elsewhere, C ...

Are your R, G and B values REAL*4 or REAL*8 ?

I'm sure it has. Lots of people do and believe what other people think are silly things. For example, some people drive on the right!

Life's too short to have a mission to list all the thi ...

Hi Robert,

Algol-68 is far too modern. It was on ICL 1900 series, and I cut my teeth on Algol-60 on Elliot 4120 machines.

Someone used to Algol-60 wouldn't necessarily recognise Algol-68 as the ...

Ken,

I'm at a loss to know why Python should be of interest to many Fortran users, but I could be wrong. Perhaps I should have watched.

I remember many years ago telling colleagues that teaching ...

Bill,

You are probably right to ask for that check. You can, of course, examine the date and time stamps to see if the file was actually saved, but of course, only after you have checked that it ac ...

Interesting. You were lucky. (Cue Monty Python sketch here.)
My first experience of a 'decent' mainframe was an Elliot/NCR 4120 which had 24k of 24bit words. I later used an IBM 1130 which had less, ...
