LOL! BTW are you writing FORTRAN in all caps for emphasis or to stick with
the 1960's programming language naming conventions?

A side note: FORTRAN I (three revisions before the widely adapted FORTRAN
IV) did have a REGISTER declaration, used in much the same way as the
"register" keyword in C/C++. It was used to indicate a variable that was so
commonly used that it should be implemented as a register. The FORTRAN
'REGISTER' declaration was dropped after version 1, only to surface again in
other languages.
