Re: Fortran Forum Recommendation

Recommend that the title be changed to capitalize only the first letter
of the name FORTRAN. Just a nit but since the word "forum" is lower
cased, it could be argued that it isn't being done as a common practice
of upper casing the title. It would appear to be perpetuating the
former obsolescent practice of upper casing the name. I very much like
the improved, slick cover versus the prior one. I think we can still do
better (e.g. full color). You could produce a very appealing
magazine-quality document on a home computer nowadays for next to
nothing. I suppose there is an ACM template of some sort being followed
(I hope it has little relationship to APA format which is about as
obsolete as you can get).

What is the Fortran forum?
