When looking for a FORTRAN reference manual, I don't think you can beat
"ANSI X3.9-1978 American National Standard Programming Language FORTRAN".
It is guaranteed to describe "standard" FORTRAN 77 (not a particular
implementation) because it IS the standard.  You can probably still
order it from:

	American National Standards Institute
	1430 Broadway
	New York, New York  10018

Scholars who study dinosaurs say there were some smart dinosaurs and lots
of stupid dinosaurs.  Those smart dinosaurs came along early, but in the
survival wars, please note, the stupid dinosaurs won.
