ACM Fortran Forum is published three times a year under 
the auspices of SIGPLAN. Founded by Loren Meissner, it
has been the journal of record of the Fortran community 
for over 20 years.  It can be subscribed to without 
membership of either ACM or SIGPLAN for $30 (plus $10 
for expedited air mail outside the USA).  Just fill in 
the form at:

http://www.acm.org/sigplan/sigplan_appl.txt

You can also order Fortran Forum on-line with the new 
ACM E-Store.  It is listed with the member plus package:
