I use fortran libraries, so that is not a problem for me. I only make
the change once, while transferring the elements ... uhmm, make that
twice.
I wrote in my other post, 0 is weird to me, I have model of solution
on paper ... if I keep 0 then all comes out different. And while
comparing, I always get them mixed up. That's why I always try to
adapt it to the paper situation.
