Readability is greatly improved due to long (and meaningful) procedure names.
Program names are limited to 10 characters.

Program calls normally require multiple source lines, which does not enhance
readability (using parameter lists makes it hard to see the parms passed).

Subprocedure calls are easier to understand.
