Tangential, but I'm working with some code that started out in the punch card era (I'm doing particle physics, it's in fortran)

My condolences.

haha me too. although it was ported to fortran 4, 77 and 2003 respectively. still the logic remained in its core.

But i must admit. working on such organic grown is harder then doing yourself. comments was devils work at that time. variables shortened to 3 chars for memory sake. really a pain in the ass.
