Fortran 90 (91, 9x?) picked up a number of circa 1970 ideas from APL, but missed a lot of the newer (and older) concepts of the language. For a more detailed tirade, see "Fortran 90 Arrays" in the January 1991 SIGPLAN Notices. To the best of my knowledge this is quite wrong (as was the tirade in the Notices). X3J3 was not particularly interested in replicating APL. No attempt was made to do so. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Keith H.
