9x now. The progression 66-77-88 would have been nice---among other
things, it would have shown that the Fortran programming community could
accept the moderate evolution occurring in the language. But ANSI X3J3
went out of its way to invent (and copy from Modula-2, Ada, et al.)
rather than codify current practice. So there is no Fortran 88.

Ban X3J3.
