Remember when Compaq decided there was no demand for VMS 8.* for VAX (as
had been promised) and never delivered it ?

I have heard through the grapevine that this was not true. There was demand.

So one must take the "there is no demand for" with a grain of salt when
it comes from HP.

Perhaps there is truly no demand for new version of Fortran. But if
there were truly no demand, how come fortran compilers on other
platforms are getting upgrades towards the new standards ?
