Suggest adding to question 5:



"Nuclear Physics"



I don't think I saw that mentioned.  This would encompass

all manner of nuclear physics simulation and analysis - 

radiation effects modeling, nuclear reactor physics 

simulation, etc.



I also echo the other suggestion to add a question about 

multi-language development.



Thank you,

Byron

Subject: Fortran Poll



(crossposted: comp.lang.fortran, comp-fortran-90)



We are working since some time ago on Fortran Legacy software and we would like to characterize some important issues from researchers, Fortran software developers, Fortran standard meeting group members, etc. We are planning to start collecting data from an online poll starting by April 4th, Wednesday (via an URL we will announce). We already have some questions to include in the poll and we would like to know if you would suggest to change some of them and/or add some others. 



Thanks in advance,
