The list seems very quiet to-day.
I have had only one post this morning.
Anybody know why?

I've been getting echos of the RF08/RS08 posts. Happens every few days.
Either the list server is getting a bit senile, or I am. Or both.

I saw a couple of posts; thought it seemed a little slow today as well. I
did see Liam's post regarding Fortran, which I did have a semester of back
in '93. Probably a little rusty as there just isn't a lot of need for it...

Presumably the Fortran is at the Earth end. Yes, you could port it, but you can't

Fortran implementation still available, porting it may not be all that useful. (Now if
they were talking Jovial, the answer might be different -- though even there you can keep
running the original, perhaps in emulation.)
