   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 $20 (plus $10 
for expedited air mail outside the USA).  Just fill in 
and mail 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:  

           http://store.acm.org/acmstore

   Back copies of Fortran Forum will shortly be available 
on-line.

   A Fortran Forum survey form can be obtained on-line at

           http://www.fortran.com/survey.txt

(thanks to Walt Brainerd for hosting this and to readers for filling it
in).
