C would be more portable... I have yet to see somebody use fortran on an IBM
pc or Macintosh (but then i'm one of the lucky who has never seen a line of
cobol and has always programmed in C in workplaces...)
What kind of input and output the program should have? I mean is it a graphic
rendition or simply to give a height and a diameter and a edge lenth and
the program will calculate angles? Whatever the needs, it seem pretty trivial.
