My understanding is that FORTRAN was officially renamed Fortran during
the deliberations that lead to Fortran 90. I could be wrong about this;
I think I picked up this tidbit while I was lurking on
comp.lang.fortran, but I'm sure everything said there is true. :)

Anyway I believe that FORTRAN refers to the pre-Fortran 90 versions of
the language and Fortran refers to all following versions.
