It's not a question of which version of Fortran is easier or better to

some FEA codes written in F77 this summer. Once I have a good grasp on
'77 I will probably then learn '95 or '2003 (if I can get my hands on a
compiler) but for me, learning F77 is a must because of the legacy
codes.


Which means that you're missing the point.

Please stop being rude to newcomers. Geez.

Your advice is sound, but do you really think being rude is the right
way to deliver it?
