In this months issue of "Personal Workstations" (April 1990, pages 16-20), a
brief overview of the new changes to FORTRAN are described.  Now the changes
listed are not comprehensive, but they give a good 'flavor' of what to expect.

The author also mentions the possibility of conflict between the ANSI X3 
committee and the SC22/WG5 because of ANSI's voting on having coexisting
standards - the Fortran 77 and the new Fortran 8x.
