Confirmed. (Remember Blake's Seven?) It's the main application language in a multimillion-pound grid control system I was involved with 20 years ago. Fortran 66, that is, not 90. Nine other languages were used too - even including Pascal or something like it. Just the mainframes cost millions. > I could go on, but you get the idea :-) What, you? :-) -- Regards Peter
