    CVF may be defunct, but it is still the "Leading Fortran Compiler"(1).
    So there!

    cheers,

    Rich

    (1) Here, the term "Leading Fortran Compiler" indicates the specific
    compiler product, with its accompanying non-standard extensions, that
    David Frank currently references in his incessant PL/I trolling. The
    identity of the compiler is subject to change without notice, and has no
    relevance whatsoever to those wishing to write portable, standard Fortran.
