Ok. I'll describe what I am using common blocks for: Whatever day
during the week, I am doing one of the following:
1) read data
2) process data
3) plot data
Since there are many different ways to process or plot data, it is
nice to read the data into common blocks, so that when I decide to
process or plot the data differently, I do not have to read it in
again.

If you have an easy solution on how to avoid common blocks, shoot. And
why are common blocks bad? Is it the same reason "goto" statements are
bad?

Cheers
Lasse
