Fortran Forum
The Fortran Forum was a newsletter published by the Special Interest Group in Programming Languages (SIGPLan) of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). It was published three times per year and addressed the Fortran language, its uses, profitability, standardization, further evolution, and the implementation of Fortran processors.
Membership in ACM or SIGPLan was not necessary to subscribe to the Fortran Forum.
Ian Chivers was the latest editor.
