Full and Subset Fortran

The ANSI Standard actually defines two different levels for Fortran77. The simpler form, subset Fortran, was intended for use on computers which were too small to handle the full language. Now that even personal computers are powerful enough to handle full Fortran77, subset Fortran is practically obsolete. This book, therefore, only describes full Fortran77.
