- "Fortran 90" appears nowhere in the title of ISO/IEC 1539:1991.
- Drafts of ISO/IEC 1539:1991 used the title "Fortran 90". If
- you are still using one of the drafts, you might want to plunk
- down the $153 dollars to get the approved standard.
-
- The title of ISO/IEC 1539:1991 is
-
- *Information technology - Programming languages - Fortran*.
-
- There is no "90" there.

- Yours truly,
