If you can't do what's needed in FORTRAN, you can't do it.  Back in the
early '80s, I was working with Dan Alderson at JPL.  We were doing work
with structures and pointer arithmetic, in FORTRAN77 because it was a
subroutine and function package to be used in other FORTRAN programs so
we couldn't use Dan's favorite language, PL/1.  Those of you who think
you can't do things like that in FORTRAN would do well to ponder the
fact that Jerry Pournelle has called Dan "the sane genius."
