 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.
