text:       SUBROUTINE HQ9(CODE)	!Implement the rather odd HQ9+ instruction set.
         CHARACTER*(*) CODE	!One operation code per character.
         INTEGER I,B	!Steppers.
         INTEGER A	!An accumulator.
          A = 0		!Initialised.
          DO I = 1,LEN(CODE)	!Step through the code.
            SELECT CASE(CODE(I:I))!Inspect the operation code.
             CASE(" ")		!Might as well do nothing.
             CASE("+")		!Increment the accumulator.
              A = A + 1		!Thus. Though, nothing refers to it...
             CASE("h","H")	!Might as well allow upper or lower case.
              WRITE (6,*) "Hello, world!"	!Hi there!
             CASE("q","Q")	!Show the (rather questionable) code.

              DO B = 99,2,-1	!Grammar is to be upheld, so the singular case is special.

      1         FORMAT (I2,1X,A," of beer",A)	!Exhausted by the first triplet, so a new line for the second.
                WRITE (6,2)			!Now for the reduction.

              WRITE (6,*) "No bottles of beer on the wall."	!Than to stand at the bar of a pub with no beer.
              WRITE (6,*) "Go to the store, buy some more."	!Take action.
             CASE DEFAULT		!Denounce any unknown operation codes.
