[ Chuckle ;-) ]  I see that Robert Bernecky has backed down already in a
later response :-)

I'm sorry guys - I'm just reading this right now.

Robert (Anderson) if you can wait until this weekend, I'll try to give
you a hand in attacking this update.  Do you have an assignment with the
FSF (necessary to get your code accepted in GCC) ?

g95 doesn't do anything but parse Fortran 95/90/77 yet - I'll hope to
start writing the interface to the tree representation next week.
