Did you use a suitably recent version of Fortran, namely Fortran 90 at
least? It’s quite a decent language these days.

 We can all do network programming. The art is making it secure and resilient.
 Not the kind of thing you want a sloppy application developer like me going anywhere near, which is why I choose to avoid it whenever possible, and to use services that hide the complexity, as far as possible.

   Very accurate - THESE days the 'security' stuff kinda
   outranks everything else. Vlad's boyz will just POUND
   yer code looking for ANY tiny crack. If they can't get
   in then they'll make it crash just for spite.
   YOUR code, the LIBS, the DRIVERS - SO many places for
   problems. Kinda scary. Frankly the whole foundation of
   the Net and 'secure' anything is highly in doubt now.
   "AI" can try EVERY attack option, smartly, quickly.
