Programming - Where to start?

[Gertrude the Wombat]

Once common blocks were banished all the fun left it.

Like I said, you can write FORTRAN in any language. Here's a common block in C:

Code:

struct common
{
  int i;
  char c;
  etc ... etc ...
};

then declare a variable of this type, define it in one module and extern it in the others.
