  15. I am trying to make a catalog of folk wisdom in fortran programming. I already
  16. have a some theorems.  For example:
  17.  
  18.         BAD           GOOD
  19. x = y/2.0          x=y*0.5
  20. a**5               (a*a)*(a*a)*a
  21. 2.0*x              x+x
  22.  
  23. I would appreciate any such words of wisdom you might have.
  24. I'll collect and broadcast a compilation.
