From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (13 Mar 01) [foldoc]:
Fortran
(Formula Translation) The first and for a long
time, the most widely used programming language for numerical
and scientific applications. The original versions lacked
{recursive} procedures and {block structure} and had a
line-oriented {syntax} in which certain columns had special
significance.
There have been a great many versions.
The name is often written "FORTRAN", harking back to the days
before computers were taught about lower case, but {ANSI}
decreed (circa. 1985 via the ANSI {FORTRAN} Technical
Committee {TC} that it should be "Fortran".
See also: {Fortrash}.
[Was {Fortran I} the first version?]
