Comments, with reply, on 'Adding data abstraction to Fortran Software' by K.W. Miller, et al

The commenter observes that the history of using preprocessors to add data types to Fortran is richer than indicated in the above article (see ibid., vol.5, no.6, p.50-8, Nov. 1988). He mentions a number of efforts, including one of his own, called Augment, which is similar to the FAD system described in the article. One of the authors, K.W. Miller, replies that he was unaware of Crary's work and comments on the Augment system.<
