Infinitesimal nit:

"Fortran", not "FORTRAN".  The latest version of Fortran seems to have
renamed itself to this mixed-case version...

Personally, I think that it should be case-insensitive. Many people spell
Fortran, Pascal and Ada with different cases. Rather than make people
memorize the "party-line" spellings, why not recognize them in any case?
After all, "FORTRAN" is not really different from "Fortran"..

(Oh, you were talking of FORTRAN-IV? :-))
