Fortran Implementation

The main characteristic of this first ``real'' Fortran code that you will write is that it will be an unstructured program--there will be no modules or procedures. For this assignment, you should read sections 1.1-1.4,1.6-1.7 (exclude 1.6.4) in the FORTRAN 77 part of the manual and sections 2.1-2.3 (exclude 2.2.3) and 2.5 in the Fortran 90 manual. Please make sure you have read through these carefully before trying the lab--examples can be found there and will help you develop your program.

You will receive more information on editing and compiling programs with a new Fortran 90 compiler that we just obtained, as well as some UNIX basics in class. You will be expected to use the more modern Fortran 90 syntax when applicable.
