*Nod* I can really understand that.. I haven't touched code like that |
| 47 |
since the first year of highschool (and thats a bunch of years ago) But |

then I wrote some small pieces, and read more, so I feel reasonably |
| 49 |
confident reading it. |

Come one, come all. Show me a crude implementation in Fortran! |
