Stephen Gilbert: you Fortran to FORTRAN, saying Fortran is normally spelt in all caps. If I recall correctly, older versions of Fortran (FORTRAN IV, FORTRAN 74) are spelt will all caps, whilst the new version (Fortran 90) is spelt in normal mixed case. (I may be wrong though.) -- Simon J Kissane


FORTRAN 77, Fortran 90, and Fortran 95 is IMHO the correct spelling. I am not sure, if there is a blank inbetween {FORTRAN | Fortran} and {77|90\95}. I've tried to find some "official" Fortran Website, but failed. Is there one? -- Tobias Hoevekamp


I found http://www.faqs.org/faqs/fortran-faq/ and it seems to support the Fortran spelling.
Someone added new material to Fortran programming language presumably without realising that Fortran existed. I have merged and moved it all to Fortran programming language. --drj
Thanks for the entry. In addition it would be nice to have some commented links to well known Fortran compilers including free ones and perhaps a tiny example like Euclid's algorithm (gcd). Well and a note about libraries would be fine as well. -- HJH
