As well as I know, the original 704 Fortran compiler has been lost to history,
but the Fortran II compiler is still around.

Note, though, that fixed-form is still in the Fortran standard, and still has the
space-insensitivity.  More popular for new programs, free-form is not space
insensitive.

Also, to make it easier for programmers, some space is still optional in
free-form Fortran, for old and new keywords.  For example, both GO TO
and GOTO are allowed, I suspect with separate entries into the parsing
tables. PL/I also has both GO TO and GOTO statements.
