This is the first time that I have ever encountered someone who used Fortran for something other than earth sciences related modeling. Thank you, now I have a second example the nest time someone claims "nobody used fortran anymore&quo

I'll just add this to my list of things that I probably should give some thought, but won't because the top of the list includes refugee crisis, income inequality, and all the less Crightonesque consequences of climate change.
