Hi Jonathan,
JDBP> BG> Be ecological. Always recycle your code. I don't mean taking your 
old
JDBP> BG> listings to the recycling bin.
JDBP>"Listings" !
JDBP>A more ecologically responsible approach, and one that is
JDBP>forced upon many these days, is to have a laser or an
JDBP>inkjet printer that doesn't accept continuous stationery.
JDBP>It makes listings so hopelessly difficult to use, and so
JDBP>easy to jumble by dropping on the floor, that one simply
JDBP>gives up printing out one's code.  (-:
True. :-)
JDBP>Of course, the "coal ? luxury!" lobby will now step in and
JDBP>say that they suffered the same thing back in the days of
JDBP>punched cards, and that as a result they were ecologically
JDBP>responsible long before it was fashionable.  (-:
But at least then they had tabulators to put them back in order (why do
you think the first columns of a FORTRAN code line had a number?).
Careful, some of my original code is in the loft on 80 col punched cards
:-).
