Yes I know they did update it years ago. My complaint is that it should have been put into FORTRAN 77. Given that it was originally the programming language for science/engineering, and I was using it in a scientific application back when FORTRAN 77 was released, would have made a lot of sense in improving its ability to handle physics and math problems instead of having to roll your own functions, or having to include the ACM libraries. It is understandable that the early version had complex numbers, and that most modern languages like C, C++, C#, etc. do not even have special functionality of complex numbers. That so much work has been put into FORTRAN compliers to better support parallel operations also makes a lot of sense since quite often scientific calculations can be excessive compute bound.
