It's nostalgia time
        Do you remember IBM JCL, Job Control Language?
        Do you remember DEC DOS/BATCH?
        Have you punched cards using a drum card?
        Have you used an O26 keypunch?
        Have you used an O29 keypunch?
        Have you played trek on at VT52?
        Have you entered data on a VT05?
        Have you used an RX01?
        Have you used a TU58?

The oldy and goldy Fortran II, remember go to's and format statements.
Don't forget all capitals.
       IMPLICIT INTEGER (I-N)
       READ(5,995) I
       IF( I ) 100,200,300
100 PRINT(6,999) I
999 FORMAT('0I IS NEGATIVE, ',I4)
       GO TO 500
200 PRINT(6,998) I
998 FORMAT('0I IS ZERO, ',I4)
       GO TO 500
300 PRINT(6,997) I
997 FORMAT('0I IS POSITIVE, ',I4)
500 STOP
       END
I think a computer language and programming flame war is needed to clear the
air and stoke the emotions :)
Never mind!
