Four software tools PFORT, DAVE, POLISH, and BRNANL, which may be used to ensure the standardization of FORTRAN software are introduced. First, FORTRAN computer programs are loosely classified into three groups. Then reasons are given why the program in two of these groups should adhere to a portable subset of the American National Standard (ANS) First FORTRAN 1966. Next, the software tools PFORT, DAVE, POLISH, and BRNANL, are briefly described, and an example of the output from PFORT, DAVE, and POLISH are given. Finally, the dissemination of information pertaining to the tools together with their availability is outlined. 11 figures.
