Fortran - ie Formula Translator, is probably best described as the Big
brother
of Basic (Beginners AllPurpose Symbolic Instruction Code), It was the
computer
language of engineers, There is probably a huge amount of stuff on the
internet
about fortran but it would not be a language I'd spend time remembering, In
those
days there was Cobol and Fortran and the fact that people still use Cobol
(something something Business Oriented Language) and nobody uses Fortran is
indicative of the fact that engineers are smarter than accountants (and
therefore
know when to move on)
