Fortran vs. C for numerical work

[Brian Glendenning]

It is often stated that Fortran is better than C for numerical work. I
am interested in compiling both the standard list of such arguments
and what any counterarguments might be.

Please email me directly. I will post a summary to the net when the
replies have stopped trickling in.

(I am interested in things like pointer aliasing, optimizer
assumptions, inlining ability etc., not language wars).

Thank you

Brian
