       True BASIC appears to do calculations at a speed that is probably 
somewhere in the Fortran range.  And as I stated, since someone volunteered 
to do some modernization work he gets to select whatever language he 
prefers.  Also as I stated, I am now starting some discussions with 
scientists who actually use these types of data on a regular basis in order 
to get some input from them.  Perhaps they might want to have some of their 
own programmers modernize the code.
