Fortran is one of the earliest computer languages, and among the most influential. In comparison to COBOL and other early languages, Fortran remains in use to this day and sees continued development and standardization. For Atari users, it is more important as the basis for the BASIC language, which is essentially a cut-down interpreted (as opposed to compiled) version of Fortran66.

As of 2016, there is still no Fortran for the Atari 8 bit home computers, which is very sad, because in science, this language has played a big role. However, there was a Fortran for the Apple II written in 6502 assembly language. Maybe there will be a time, when we get the the source code for this Apple version and can port this to the Atari? For a first step in this case, AtariWiki has collect the infos about Fortran for the Apple II, please see below. So, if there is anyone out there, who is in the possession of the original Apple II source code of Fortran, please be so kind and give it to us. Thank you so much in advance.
