ABSTRACT
As in the past it will probably turn out that some of the new ideas are bad ideas, that some find only limited application in numerical computing, and that some are easier to use by programming in other languages. To embrace all of the new features it might be best to think of FORTRAN-90 as a completely new language; for an exhaustive (and exhausting) discussion of the entire thing, see [96] or [74]. Just as we considered only the classical subset of FORTRAN-77 in earlier Chapters, we will here consider only a small subset of FoRTRAN-90's added functionality. Except for a few gotchas, this will allow us to view FORTRAN-90 as just an extension of classical FORTRAN.
