Ajibayo,

	If you find it tell every parallelizing compiler researcher around the
world about it!

	The problem you are posing is what compiler researchers have been
seeking during the last 15 years.

	For the latest in Fortran-like parallel languages and compilers try the
High-Performance Fortran (HPF) language.
