  Description

  This course presents the Fortran 77 language for programmers who 
  do not know Fortran.  The Fortran 77 language will addressed for 
  programmers who know C, Pascal, BASIC or some other high level language.
  The language syntax, structure, variable types, and usage will all be
  explained in detail.  It also discusses the f77 command line and 
  libraries.
