Date Description
30 December 99 Added Fortran Library free Fortran 90 source code:  "ShareBufferWin32" and "CheckDate".
17 December 99 Added "CLUSFIND", "JETNET", "Neural Net Code...", to Free Software.  Added "Prosoft" (vendor of technical software) to Compatible Products.
27 November 99 Minor page design change to eliminate underscoring of most headings.  This makes it more clear where "active" links are.  Also default text color changed from dark green to dark blue (just for a change).
26 November 99 Corrected link for "LOGDISCR" and "PLRT" in Free Software.
23 November 99 Added FSF funding link on the index page.
20 November 99 Added "WSTS Graphics Library", "WSTS Math Library", and "WSTS Bubblesoft Accounting Library" to Compatible Products.  Added "Pltmg : A Software Package...", "Numerical Linear Algebra for...", "ScaLAPACK User's Guide", "LINPACK User's Guide" in Books.  Added "Functional Minimization using Simulated Annealing", "Kinetic MC:  Ordering and Vacancy Migration in @-D Binary Alloy", "Hodrick-Prescott Filter Code", "Rule Learning" in Free Software.  Added "NA-Net" in News Groups.
15 November 99 Changed link to the FORTRAN 77 standard to point to a more complete HTML version.
14 November 99 Corrected link for "Harwell Subroutine Library" in Compatible Products.  Moved "What's New 1998" to the top of the What's New page.
13 November 99 Minor appearance improvements (hopefully) to Quick Links tables and content tables in all files.  Changed the Fortran 90 Quick Reference links (logo books on all pages) from Sun's document site to Compaq's, only because of full Fortran 95 support.  Also made it a direct link to the "language reference" manual.  Made some additional changes to the index page.  Added 2 additional sections for "local site search" and "quick links" (with graphic).  Removed the search tool from the header section. 
12 November 99 After numerous requests to the ISP to restore the hit counter value to the correct value, I gave up and added my own counter routine.  After a server data corruption event a few months ago, the counter data file got wiped out.  The hit counter is now approximately correct (was at ~38000  when it stopped working, added 13745 to that value to get 51745).  Prototyped jump links in the  Index, Free Software, Compatible Products, Articles, Books sections.  Let me know if this is useful.  Improved formatting on various pages (mostly adding/deleting blank lines).
11 November 99 Added "JMFFT" and Alan Miller's new overflow site to Free Software.
10 November 99 Added FTN77 to the Free Software (compilers) section.  Removed ELF90 from the same list.
9 November 99 Added "BBEDIT" to Compatible Products.
5 November 99 Added site search form on the index page.  I originally wrote this about 1 year ago (modified Matt's Script Archive macro), but never installed it because my ISP couldn't seem to get my account CGI access set up correctly.  Obviously, it needs some work (no string search, result is just the base file name, not specific content, and link doesn't take you where you want to go).  If you have a better CGI ready made, let me know.
4 November 99 Corrected link for "Flint" in Compatible Products.
31 October 99 Added "FMKMF", "FIDISOL/CADSOL", "LINSOL", "VECFEM", "Statistics Code From University of Bristol", "TISEAN", "2D_MC", and "TRON" to Free Software.  Added Books "Handbook of Test Problems in Local and Global Optimization", "Programming Language Pragmatics" and "Arpack User's Guide".  Added "The Design of a Portable Scientific Tool" to Articles.  Added "Wessex Scientific and Technical Services" to Consultants.  Added a link to my home page in the "Webmaster" section.  Corrected all links to SUN Documents site in the Books portion of the logo.
30 October 99 Added "Linkgrinder" to the net search section.  Added link to the home page of comp-fortran-90 mailbase group in News Groups.
25 October 99 Added news group "slac.lang.fortran".
24 October 99 Corrected various Internet Search entries (Brittanica/eBlast merge, Infoseek/GO merge, Internet Sleuth=TheBigHub, delete Muscat, GNN).

16 October 99 Added "TINKER" to Free Software.
15 October 99 Corrected link in Articles for "Creating FORTRAN DLLs for Use in GAUSS for Windows 95/NT".
14 October 99 Added server relocation announcement.  Continuing hardware problems are inhibiting the process of updating the site more regularly.  Equipment is to once again be delivered to the repair center on Friday (15 October.  It was just returned last week after ~2 months in repair, worked for a few hours and then exhibited the same error again).  If not repaired this time, new equipment will be purchased (by golly).
8 September 99 Added "US mirror site" links to Numerical Algorithms Group listings under Compatible Products and Free Software.  Did not add this to individual product listings, however some users may want to modify the link for faster service, particularly for file downloads.
6 September 99 Updated ISBN/publish date for Book "Fortran 90/95 Explained" by Metcalf and Reid, deleted link to Paul Soderland's LAPACK documentation in Articles.  Changed title for "Online Tutorial For Windows 95/98/NT Applications Programming With FORTRAN" and added "Advanced Windows 95/98/NT Applications Programming With FORTRAN" in Training/Tutorials.  Updated OS reference for "Windows 95/98/NT Application Programming With Fortran with Examples" and added "PLM" which is the source to a compiler written in Fortran 66, in Free Software.  Made the "ACM Fortran Forum" more prominent in Journals/Magazines. Added SHAPE95 and Unicomp test suites to Compatible Products.
14 July 99 Added Article "Automatic Selection of High-order Transformations in the IBM XL Fortran
Compilers".  Hit counter problem confirmed to be an ISP problem.  Awaiting resolution.
