Fortran 77

I just happened upon the the footnote on page 187 of the Pickaxe book
about how RDoc can document Fortran 77. Does Dave Thomas write a lot
of Fortran code?

I had to ask.

NASA still uses FORTRAN *77*? Man, *that's* frightening ... does their
patch work with the "new" dialects like 90 and 95?

Actually my officemate and I hacked that crude Fortran/90/ parser
into RDoc one afternoon (100 LOC, fragile regexps) and Dave accepted
it into the fold.

Our group never really found much use for it, and so we didn't
pursue developing it. The GFD Dennou Club, however, has created
a (robust, polished) version that I believe Ryan Davis is trying
to work into core or split out as a gem -- see

Thanks for the explanation. It does make sense now.
