With some minor exceptions so obscure that few people will ever encounter
them.  The course on Modern Fortran I give is on:

    http://www-uxsup.csx.cam.ac.uk/courses/Fortran/

The intention is that it should be useful with or without lectures, and
to release it GNU-style, when I get the time!  The current restriction on
copying is a holding one - please contact me if you want to copy anything.

If any gfortran people want to look at it, comments would be appreciated.
In particular, if I am out of date in any respect, I should like to update
it - what I have tried to do is to stick to the features that are reliably
available and that most programmers will need.  I have tested most of it
(perhaps all) with gfortran.


Regards,
Nick Maclaren.
