FORTRAN in the modern world" pp218-220 view details Abstract: The previous paper (Healy, 1968) made several suggestions for improving FORTRAN from the user's point of view, mainly by removing irksome and unnecessary restrictions as well as by pointing out valuable extensions to the language. We now make further suggestions, based on efficiency considerations as seen by the software writer and the machine manager.
