Hi,

I need to get some information on Fortran. First, what are Fortran's
types? (like fixed, float, arrays..).

Also, what are Fotran's name spaces (variables, common blocks,
subprogram names)?

Thanks

Scope in Fortran. Please consult this issue in Section 4 of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortra...res#Definitions (which
does not discuss Fortran 77 features such as common) or in any textbook.
