As Duane says, this is the place for Fortran questions. We see all kinds
of levels of question here, from the most elementary, to ones that stump
the experts.

There are some kinds of questions that are better directed at specific
vendors - things like installation or other support issues with a
particular vendor's product. People will often try to answer those here
anyway, but sometimes you really need to go to the vendor. The group
tends to stick more with questions about the language in general; that's
not a hard "rule" - exceptions abound, but it is the general tendency.

And sometimes there are things that are better done by reading in a
textbook, either because the matters require more elaboration than is
likely to be put in a message here, or because a series of questions
about the same area suggests that it would be better to learn the
underlying principles instead of just single-point answers.

Ask away.
