g77 has be replaced by gfortran (several releases ago).

gfortran can compile code written in fortran 77.

I'm aware that g77 is no longer supported. I was making a wise-ass statement about LWN's archaic reference to 'FORTRAN' rather than 'Fortran', which is the form preferred since the Fortran 90 standard (about 19 years now).

Those of us who learned to program FORTRAN by punching little holes in paper cards are unlikely to change.
