Fortran 77 didn't exist until 1978 (publication dates and the like). Given that the language didn't exist 20 years ago (this being 1996, and 20 years before would make it 1976) you seem to be "fluffing" a resume, or something. This reminds me of a ad wanting a person with 5+ years Java experience. Get a clue!! -- Tom Watson tsw@3do.com (Home: tsw@johana.com)
