I'm not familiar with pre-77 FORTRAN, but I found an old manual for FORTRAN II on UNIVAC systems, written by Knuth in 1962. It states that any variable name starting with the letters I through N is implicitly typed integer; otherwise it's implicitly a float. FORTRAN 77 introduced "IMPLICIT NONE" to disable this feature. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
