I'm teaching myself FORTRAN 77,

The name of the language is Fortran not FORTRAN.


Are there any other online refrences you find usefull? What do you use
as a syntax reference while you code?

Go to www.fortran.com. There are numerouos links to follow.

I would suggest that you start with Fortran 95 instead of 77.
You'll avoid developing potentially bad programming habits.
In another post you mentioned that you use g77 that comes with
Gentoo Linux because its cheap. gfortran and g95 are free
compiler that you can install. If the work your doing is
for your own personal use, then Intel, Sun, and Silverfrost
offer a free license to their products (but do read the
conditions).
