For Fortran I see fortran-77 pl 1977 fortran-8x pl 1989 fortran-90 pl 1990 but not the earlier Fortran 66 aka Fortran IV and the later standards Fortran 95, 2003, 2008, and Fortran 2018. Numerous Fortran 95 compilers exist, and Cray, gfortran, IBM, Intel, and NAG have implemented much of Fortran 2008, according to http://fortranwiki.org/fortran/show/Fortran+2008+status .

Thank you very much! Made a note to go carefully through the Fortrans and add these popular variants.

Any former GEAC systems folks here? You'll notice the list has ZOPL, but is missing ABL (Automated Banking Language) which ran several banking operations in Canada in the early 80's.

Thanks! Do you have any links to something on ABL? I can't find anything.

Seems odd to think about digging up documents before the era of pdf!

Somewhere buried I probably have an old GEAC-ABL manual, but a quick look didn't uncover anything. Who should I notify if I find something?
