	It may have been missing some modern features, but at least it
worked.  That is more than I can say about the f77 delivered with v6.
We're talking about things like logical if statements not working right.

	Raise your hand if you ran the Princeton port of RT-11 Fortran on
your v6 machine.  From the early days of Unix, Fortran has been a bastard
son, grudgingly supported, but not really given the same respect as C.
This has been less true over the past couple of years, but the bigotry
still shows through.
