Joe, Well that was facile of me. I was thinking universities didn't teach fortran anymore, but I see that the UNC research computing support group currently supports three brands (gnu, intel, and portland) for each of all three of fortran, C, and C++ compilers. I guess I was stuck thinking of undergraduate education; in the UNC catalog I can find Lisp, python, pascal even, but neither C++ nor fortran, but those languages simply may not be mentioned as requirements. But of course, undergraduates are "kids", graduate students are adults, so I was still right :-) Peter
