I use main-level programs as a place to start or to place an example at the end of a file containing regular routines. Anything more complex than a few lines should be in a function/procedure. But the nice part is that it is easy to just add the "pro/function my_routine, a, b, etc.." line at the top of the main-level program to change it into a routine. After coding and getting something working, 99+% of what gets committed and kept is in regular routines. Mike -- www.michaelgalloy.com Research Mathematician Tech-X Corporation
