Abstract
Viability of the FORTRAN computer language and its relationship to other languages for program development were discussed. A library of C and assembly language FORTRAN callable subroutines, developed to suit the needs of researchers in behavioral sciences was introduced and suggested as an aid for accomplishing the successful migration of FORTRAN from the mainframe to the microcomputing environment.
