Punch cards using FORTRAN with WatIV and WatV.

Nothing like the feeling of a stack of cards clutched in your hand as
the squeezed middle explodes and scatters upward on your way to the
batch tray. Next two hours on a wide expanse of floor reordering them -
"Here's 0001, now here's 0693, now 0428, oh yeah 0002 after 0001, here's
1867..."
