"""The new, and enhanced features in ANS'74

They include the five new language modules:

Index I-O
Relative I-O
Interprogram Communication
Debug
Communication

.....""""

Communication has fallen by the wayside, but I think that even you
would find INDEXED and RELATIVE files useful, and even CALL.

Of course these were available in many systems before the '74 standard
but they were not part of '68.
