     We would like any pointers to a good text that is intended for use in
a minimally-supervised self-paced Fortran course, and that would be appropriate
at the Freshman level.  Ideally, the text would have the following:

		o  An algorithmic approach to programming, emphasizing modularity,
		   readability (style), and design.
	    o  Some degree of independence from a particular implementation of
		   Fortran.
		o  A slant towards engineering and scientific students.

     Any pointers will be much appreciated.  If desired, I will summarize to
the net.

	 Flames to /dev/null, please.
