Hi Lionel and Jeff and others who wrote
Thanks Jeff for your reply to Lionel. Glad that you're here to answer the
hard questions ... and to provide some great sites to review.
Hi Lionel ... as one of Schwager's Wizards talked about ... traders can do
and learn about all sorts of things when money is on the line. Things that
academics would never think about.
It's hard to find traders who also know C++ ... but they're out there.
Best regards
Walter

| Lionel,
|
| Fortran is very alive and quite well. The amount of Fortran legacy code
| around will likely ensure its existence into the next millenium,
| especially for scientific code.
|
| There is a free Fortran compiler available for personal use that
| will run under various flavors of windows at
| http://www.salford.co.uk
|
| I've been able to run most well written Fortran programs just
| fine on my PC running Windows.
|
| I know of at least 1 free C compiler out there that will run
| on Windows, but don't know of any free C++ compilers.
|
| I would hazard a guess that you should be able to get Tisean
| to run just fine under Windows, but you'll never know unless
| you try.
|
| Good luck,
| Jeff
