It has been a nightmare, the CAB files were corrupted. I have spent several days trying to get a registered version of VS 2013 Professional working on my Dell computer. with ability to link Fortran with ANY language it make me laugh when i hear folks converting large programs to C++ or other languages (which generally also changes the programs).don't they realize through linking you can use the strengths of ALL languages?!! (watch at 1:00) BAM! all ya gots ta do is hit em on the head! :-) So point is when you hear 'Fortran is Dead' simply think of the Monty Python Holy Grail scene where the guy is walking with the cart 'Bring out your Dead' and the guy is thrown into the cart and he says 'I ain't Dead Yet' Heck there's even a guy posting up a site trying to cover up the death of fortran! Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh!.don't tell anyone your secret about the death of Fortran?!! It might make some of us old folks cry :-( I mean some folks are even foolishly still writing BOOKS on MODERN Fortran (Markus 'Modern Fortran in Practice' (2012) and Clerman 'Modern Fortran Style an Useage' (2012) & Metcalf "Modern Fortran Explained') Must be a bunch of old folks (like me!) in nursing homes (not yet!) who do it for the historical or is it hysterical purposes?
