Either i misunderstood something or our claim Back then I used F77 and almost F77 (seems to me that DEC FORTRAN on TOPS 20 was somewhere between 66 and 77. But hey, we had a preproccessor fof this c++ thing :). That was about 83-84. I used some c back then, too. Rolling ahead to 95, learing c++ took work. I recoded a summer's worth of c++ and smalltalk to fortran 77 in a day and a half, not having looked at fortran since 84. Roll ahead to a couple of weeks ago, i picked up a F90 book, read a couple of chapters, and am happily using lots of it. >sorry, i have only min ;) > >well, try example below for min with >arbitrary larger number of arguments. Hope it can help I'm definitely saving this one. Thanks. There's a coupel of future pojects that will need objects, which will probably mean some c++. -- R E HAWKINS rhawkins@iastate.edu These opinions will not be those of ISU until they pay my retainer.
