Roger,

You really don't know what the various project are that I am working on. In fact you are totally unaware and have never even heard about the single most important one I have been working on for several days.

Regarding programming,

What I recommend that you do is get a little better organized with Fortran. And I have something specific in mind.

Fortran by itself won't draw charts as far as I am aware. But it can be linked with various libraries that will let give it a chart drawing ability.

You could discuss this with the people in the Fortran Newsgroup and see what they recommend. Then get it running on your own computer and tell everyone what you learned. That shouldn't take more than a day or perhaps even a few hours since you already have several Fortran compilers running.

TrueBasic can't be used. You developed a program that drew charts. But when I tried to run it on my various computers it would work on some but not the others.

Gnuplot in contrast will probably run on any Windows system. You can manually set it to be whatever size you want and it will remember that information for that computer. If might also have an internal command that lets you set the chart size.

However, using Gnuplot is just too much trouble. And it is slow.

I myself am planning to circulate a report on a number of programming Newsgroups that will ask people what they think the best language or languages would be for these applications.

Regarding forecasting, my program is running fine at the moment. So no new work is planned for it in the near future. But I would like to determine what language to use for future work.

The data that I am generating are not intended to "prove" that this forecasting approach works. They are to let people know that they need to start watching this or that area for approaching seismic activity.
