FORTRAN/ Intellectual Property was vemsa3d 1.1 - a flossvisual em simulator for 3d antennas

... My daughter just got her doctorate from Columbia University. Her thesis was all about data sets massaged with FORTRAN. It ain't dead. Far from it. tom K0TAR Frankly, I find that amazing, indeed, it implies insanity to me. Why anyone would allow a thesis to be done which would favor a particular language defies rationality. As, language is only a device for the implementation of truths, ideas, algorithms and laws. It is the underlying structure of math and logic which are the only important points. To express these in a form speaking to computer engineers, a "language" such as pseudo-code would be the logical choice. To do any different simply implies there are interests at work other than pure science. Are you sure a FORTRAN compiler/developer with financial interests did not back this academic venture?

PDP8 assy? 12 bit machine wasn't it? (didn't look it up, not cheating) I rebuilt one after someone plugged the TTY card into the bus. You may remember that none of the cards were keyed. Loop current voltage hits the bus, oops. Lots of RTL and DTL to replace. tom K0TAR |

Thanks, you saved me a lot of trouble. And, when addressing a room full of engineers from such varied programming experiences, one would use pseudocode, a "universal language." Indeed, a thesis would utilize the same ... Regards, Mr. Ostrom |
