Whatever comp.compilers post I am thinking of, I read it a long time ago and I do not remember it intimately, and it is about versions of FORTRAN from before I became born, or . . .

What happened to the comp.compilers mbox archives? Happy New Year! (S. HTTP://Gloucester.Insomnia247.NL/ fuer Kontaktdaten!)
