procrastination kills

I know I should have gotten this done earlier and I feel bad about it. (I forgot last week’s blog, too.) I’ve been debugging my load(s) for the past few days. It took a long time, especially trying to figure out Fortran’s cryptic error messages. But for all its difficulties, I actually like debugging. It was calming to have to go down the list of compile errors one by one, find out what was wrong, and fix it. In order to make sure the load worked, I saved it as a program. It’s a good thing I checked it this way, because I had several core dump problems, mostly with formatting issues. And even once I’d gotten rid of those, the program listed goodcodes and badcodes as both being 0. I just figured it out – more formatting – so I’m getting ready to move on.
