Porting any Fortran code to a UNIX environmrnt should be termed more
than 'gross.' The only redeeming value I have ever found found in Fortran is it
pointing out the speed discreepencies between a VAX 11/750 and a CRAY II. But
then again we know that Cray's are fast. So what's the point of finding that a
non-linear programming program imlemented in Fortran takes three days to run on
a VAX 11/750 but only 20 SECONDS on a Cray II.
