The FORTRAN version I started out with was great, the code was quite readable. I don't know if it was FORTRAN 66 or FORTRAN 77, but back then the looping was pretty simple. They might have had a GOSUB command back then, not sure now.

I wish I'd saved my code from school - lots of ANSI C compiled on PC, VAX assembly language and FORTRAN on a variety of big iron. Even some Modula-2 and LISP!
