    @LJNielsenDk You're quite right - but I didn't want to include someone's hand written notebook of machine code instructions on a single computer in a university department or government institution somewhere. Though if somebody finds one I think we'd all be interested to see it :) (Something like the famous debug notes here.) Commented Jun 2, 2016 at 13:51
  • This book is only 50 pages long, is it just an overview of the language or a complete, in-depth book? Commented Jun 2, 2016 at 18:00

    @Bálint - it's a reference manual and looks fairly thorough. It's not an "introductory manual" though - apparently one was due for publication at a later date (as mentioned in this manual). Commented Jun 3, 2016 at 7:48

    Evidently the 704 FORTRAN manual was written before the perfection of the art of making manuals ten times longer than necessary to convey the information. Plus, they should have called it "Dummies guide to 704 FORTRAN in 21 days!" to encourage sales. Commented Mar 27, 2024 at 17:16
