Re: dumb question #1 re: DO loops

Thanks to both of you for the rapid responses.

Regarding language choices: I am a pragmatist rather than "religious",
and although Fortran was the first language I learned long ago, I
confess to a preference for C. HOWEVER in this case, unfortunately,
the translation IS necessary and not a "lifestyle choice".

Do you have a recommended URL for a Fortran manual? I did check a few
websites before posting this question but didn't find what I was
looking for.
