Oh, I recall lots of people were confused by the change from "Fortran 8x" to Fortran 90. One example (google is fun): From: Mike Ross (ross@apollo.HP.COM ) Subject: *FORTRAN* 90 survey View: Complete Thread (3 articles) Original Format Newsgroups: comp.lang.*fortran* Date: 1990-03-07 12:04:00 PST A few weeks ago, I posted 3 survey questions concerning the use of ANSI *FORTRAN* 90. I got 13 responses, which is hardly enough to make a representative sample, but since there seemed to be interest in the results, here they are. First, several people corrected my use of the term *FORTRAN **8x*, since the ANSI committee has recently renamed it *FORTRAN* 90. I appreciate the information, butI already knew that, but used the more common *FORTRAN **8x* term. Just figured more people would understand what I was asking for. After all, how many people call the current standard ANSI X3.9-1978 *FORTRAN* 77, its official name? (rhetorical question) -- Keith H.
