It was about 6000 lines of Fortran II (!!!) code that needed to get converted to Fortran IV. Lots of documentation for each subroutine, including 4 to 8 pages describing variables, lots of flowcharts, etc. About half way into the documentation set, I see the flag BTL defined, so I quick-scanned the code for it and couldn't find it. I looked back at the documentation: BTL FLAG INDICATES WHETHER THIS IS A BACON, LETTUCE AND TOMATO SANDWICH. Needless to say, this made my day. -- [Forgive me, Father, for I have signed ...] Bob Dalgleish ...!alberta!sask!zaphod!bobd ihnp4!
