I too would like to hear your recommendations.  Right now I teach an
undergraduate FORTRAN class for non-computer science majors.  We use

"Understanding FORTRAN 77 with Structured Problem Solving", by
Michel Boillot.

While it is all right, there must be something better for this type of
class.  Any recommendations and experiences you have had with other
books for such a class would be appreciated.

I'll keep track of your responses on this group or email them directly 
and I'll post the results.

Thanks,
