I looked at the manual and found that, in 1980, M77 had the radical extension of A .op. B where op was and, or, xor, ... and A and B were numeric type variables, with the operations bitwise. Only 30 years ago. Maybe this idea needs a bit more time to mature. :) Cheers Bill > > As the main two supported Fortran compilers. > > I also vaguely remember a Waterloo Fortran. > > There was a CDC 1700 and I think that had a Fortran compiler. > Would that have counted as another compiler? > > Cheers > > ian > > > -----Original Message----- > From: j3-bounces@j3-fortran.org [mailto:j3-bounces@j3-fortran.org] On Behalf > Of David Muxworthy > Sent: 01 March 2010 17:47 > To: sc22wg5@open-std.org > Subject: (j3.2006) (SC22WG5.4197) 43 Fortran compilers > > One or two people seemed surprised when I said at the WG5 meeting > that there were 43 Fortran compilers in the early 1960s.
