Hm. If you write something in FORTRAN 2, it will be accepted by FORTRAN 4,
FORTRAN 66, and FORTRAN 77.  But I think that's cheating a bit, since the
languages were designed to be upward compatible.  Note: I have not tried
*ALL* the language features of FORTRAN 2 (the few that there are).  When
I started college I ran a couple decks from a high school FORTRAN 2
program, and it ran on the ones here.
