[comp.lang.fortran] Where to get the f77 standard?

rhodesii@idaho.uucp (III) (05/17/91)

I realize that this has to be a FAQ in this newsgroup but I was
wondering from where (or who) I could request a copy of 
the  ANSI f77 standard (ANSI X3.9-1978) and the DOD supplement
MIL-STD-1753 ? Does somebody have an appropriate address or phone #
they could post or e-mail to me? A little knowledge of exactly 
what the standard says might go a long way!

tnx

MIL-STD-1753 is available free of charge (at least for individual
copies) from the Naval Publications and Forms Center.

The have an dialup electronic order entry system called TOES which is
quite easy to use.  First you need to get yourself setup with a
customer number, by calling the customer service line (215 697 2667)
and talking to a human who will get you eneterd into the computer and
give you your number.  They can also explain how to use TOES.

Basically, you call it (215 697 1187 through -97) and use a touchtone
phone to enter "MILSTD1753".  After a week or two, your order arrives
in the mail.

MIL-STD-1753 is about 8 pages long, BTW.
