Summary: Memory technique for FORTRAN order


I can never thank enough the FORTRAN teacher I had who taught me that
FORTRAN array storage works just like a cars odometer, i.e. the right
most digit/subscript increments the fastest.

He was also very adamant that the compiler didn't give squat about 
rows and columns.  Besides, what do you start calling things after
2, 3, or 4 dimensions.

	THANKS - Dr. Robert Fagen
