Well I was of course referring to the most recent version. Of
course Fortran is really odd, both the 77 and 90 standards
from ANSI are valid at the same time, a very peculiar situation
reflecting an inability to get a real consensus that F90
represented *the* direction in which Fortran development should
go. Does someone know if the ISO standard suffers the same
schizophrenia? Normally there can be only one ISO standard for
a language (Ada 83 is no longer an ISO standardized language).
The Fortran community that I know these days typically spells
the language in the modern style Fortran, rather than in the
old style FORTRAN.
COBOL though is almost always thus spelled in the COBOL
community.
