For my sins I may have to teach a Fortran course in the near future,
something I haven't had to do for 20 years.

A little while ago there was a potted history of the Fortran language
pieced together on this newsgroup.  If anyone kept a copy I would be
grateful if they could send it to me.

Also, perhaps this is not the best place to ask, but it may be the most
effective.  Who said this:

	"Teaching programming with Fortran is like teaching arithmetic with
	 Roman notation."

Thanks in advance,	Bill V.
