See the earlier reply, Reinhard : the program is an ongoing
work-in-progress, so any port could only freeze it at some
arbitrary point in its evolution.

How wonderful it was to learn that there is at least
one other person in the world who prefers to work in
sane, elegant, traditional languages such as Fortran
