   Pick up a Fortran-90-or-later spec. This is not your father’s Fortran any   
   more. “contains” lets you put subroutines and functions directly in the   
   main program, so they can refer directly to program globals instead of   
   having to go through “common” blocks.   
      
   I posted an example of modernized Fortran code right here a few months   
   ago, and I see there’s a comment from you on it, so you must have seen it.
