Any comments on:

	Structured Fortran 77 Programming    
	by Seymour Pollack
	496 pages  (seems complete to me) 
	Boyd & Fraser Publishing Company
	3627 Sacramento Street
	San Francisco CA  94118

	copyright 1982 (my copy)

	    Pollack was/is in the 
		Department of Computer Science 
		School of Engineering and Applied Science
		Washingto University in St. Louis
		
and another favorite of mine

	Advanced problem solving with Fortran 77
		(including a preview of Fortran 8x)
	Stacey L. Edgar
	445 pages ( not very much introductory )
	Science Research Associates, INC.
	(Pergamon)
	Chicago etc.....

	copyright 1989



and yet another useful book

	Fortran Tools for VAX/VMS and MS-DOS
	R.K. Jones and T. Crabtree
	446 pages ( full of tools - not math tools - that I often use on
			our HP 9000 unix box with little or no trouble.  This is
			a different type of book  -  does not teach fortran.)
	Wiley and Sons

	copyright 1988
