The only other thing is for reading sense switches.  ;-)
Still there, I hear, though switches are hard to come by. 

It's an interesting question. I assume they'd treat it 
like a device, though it could be as an array like C. 
Both would be cool, unless there's standard support for 
doing the formatting conversions in modern FORTRAN.

g77 is what it's called. I've not used FORTRAN since cards.
