Well after they dropped Sense Switches FORTRAN* has
never been the
same. In many ways FORTRAN is more machine dependant
than you think
since FORTRAN compliers range from the the PDP-8 to
the PDP-10 and that
is about as different in hardware range as they
come.
*PS Real Fortran has version numbers not years like
77 or 90.
You mean like Wat IV or V or, IIRC, FORTRAN IV and
such. Those are the years the specs were written. You
can call a compiler whatever you want, but it helps to
know with which spec it's compliant.
GCC at last check only supported F77 stuph. Funny..
I recently obtained, with docs, IBM Pro FORTRAN 1.0
by Ryan-McFarland (not M$), truely F77 compliant
(unlike M$'s version). But the manual says this is to
the best of IBM's ability to ascertain. But I guess
caveats like that apply w/o anything being said.
