Neither do I. It is a puzzling psychological phenomenon. Only professional mathematicians can compete them. I have several books on numeric methods and statistics with source code attached, usually in FORTRAN. It is horrifying. Many scientific papers I had time to time to review contained code samples. I guess they were intended to illustrate some point, unfortunately absolutely in vain, because even Champollion were he still alive, would be unable to decipher these. (:-)) -- Regards, Dmitry A.
