[LF] Fortran style

[Lahey Support]

Hi everyone:
In reply to the message from Mr. Tom Lahey
re "Improving Fortran's viability" the following:

There is a style guide for F90 on the Web, that might
be useful; its title is: "European Standards for Writing &
Documenting Exchangeable Fortran 90 Code"
at Website:
www.meto.govt.uk/sec5/NWP/NWP_F90Standards.html

Some clauses would not apply, e.g. "Use meaningful
variable names, preferably in English"
