Marin made some guesses as to the capitalization of Fortran. Just so there
is no confusion on this point (after all the Ada folks are very particular
about capitalization of *their* language :-)

The language was originally FORTRAN, but later officially changed to
Fortran. I believe the change was from the 66 standard (FORTRAN) to
the 77 standard (Fortran).

So it should always be spelled Fortran these days, and the subject
is indeed incorrectly capitalized in this thread, but I did not change
it because many thread following mailers would lose the thread!
