	Yet it seems almost all Fortran code out there is still in 77, and is
still written in 77.

	I don't know Fortran well - only coded it once. Had to modify someone's
code to add some numerical algorithm. So am not an expert. However, a
friend of mine who knows it much better, and is comfortable with it
(albeit while disliking it) told me the reason almost all (scientific)
Fortran code is still written in 77 is that 90 onwards performed poorly.
