I think the simpler earlier form "FORTRAN" was amazingly good enough for strucure and problem-defining although F77 was a vast improvement. F90 I've used; F95...

... machines were somewhat different, but there was some tendency for the software to be similar, especially features of high-level languages, such as Fortran. DEC had many extensions to Fortran that were common between the different systems. Among those were the use of tabs in Fortran source. -- glen
