Since the original thread was about DEC things, that Fortran II manual
could well be this:
http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/dec/pdp9/DEC-9B-AFT0-D_FORTRANII.pdf
I.e., Fortran II (Roman "two") for the PDP-9.
That machine was apparently announced in 1966 and superseded by the
PDP-15 in 1970; thus, not unreasonable that it would be DEC's
adaptation of FORTRAN II (of 1958) to their hardware.

There was no Fortran 2011. Standards since 1990
have been 95, 2003,
2008, 2018, and 2023. The next revision is under development. I have
PDF for all standards, including 66 and 77. Ask if you want one.
Thank you
Peter Coghlan pointed out to me that "Fortran 11" might well mean FORTRAN
for the PDP-11.
