[net.news.group] f77 news group

woods@hao.UUCP (11/23/83)

  Unfortunately, we can't call it net.lang.for*, since this is too similar
to the already existing net.lang.forth . I am in favor of keeping up with where
FORTRAN is moving to, and calling it net.lang.f77 . I suspect most of the
discussion there would be about f77 anyhow. However, I do *not* want to
restrict discussion to f77. Anyone have any serious objection to calling
it net.lang.f77? If not, we will create the group over the weekend, if
Mark Horton doesn't beat us to it. Comments?

I'm bringing this over to net.new.group from net.lang because that's
where discussion of this type belong.

Fortran is with us to stay, like it or not, and a news group to discuss
Fortran issues seems like a good idea.  However, net.lang.f77 seems a
little limiting, with a possible f88 just around the corner, so I
propose net.lang.fortran.
