I don't ask Lahey to give out free elf90 again.
Nor offer to provide source code for some of Knuth's algorithms
(even though Volume 2, "Sorting and Searching" is my favorite).
I've already told Tom that being able to do simple colour games
with Fortran might make more popular with students (who then
eventually leave college and one day place orders...).
I'm happy to pay for a Fortran compiler that gives me F77 and F90
comptability. It will last me the next 15 years and I won't have to rewrite
all the existing source codes. But I INSIST on a minimum
TEXT GUI, because I've HAD THAT for the last 15 years (well, 14).
And not getting it is just as bad as having to learn chinese
as far as the future of OUR Fortran is concerned.
(Actually I DID try to learn chinese in 1960; I made more
practical progress then, than I did with the 32 bit API now).
I want to pay someone to learn chinese FOR ME, and give me a tiny
little addiditional ("non-standard-conforming") library to do
basic screen i/o and REALLY read a keyboard; not 1/3rd of it.
