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?

What? How am I supposed to disagree with someone else's advice (in this
case it's Terence) that is IMHO trying to steer this poor soul in the wrong
direction.

I guess since you quoted my opening sentence, that is what you found to be
so reprehensible. Sorry. If the OP is reading this, please just take my
'sound advice' at it's face value and ignore anything that you might find
rude. That wasn't my intent, but it seems that some people are
hypersensitive....
