For all you heavy FORTRAN users out there, I have
a couple of survey type questions. Reply via e-mail, I will summarize
if there is enough interest.

1) Assuming that a reasonable implementation of
FORTRAN 8x is available for your machine/OS, would
you be likely to use it, say, in preference to your
present FORTRAN-77 compiler? 

2) Which of the new features in FORTRAN 8x do you 
feel you are likely to make the most use of? Which
features are most important to your work?

3) If a translation tool were available to convert
your FORTRAN programs from their present state (presumably
FORTRAN-77 with extensions) to FORTRAN 8x, would you be interested?
Would you use it? How much would you be willing to pay for such a tool? 

Thanks for your input.
