Mortran was Macro Fortran. It came out of one of the California
"high-energy physics" labs, and it was a pre-processor that generated
Fortran code. I never used it, but it had some features that were
missing from the prevalent Fortran dialect of the day, Fortran 66, that
later made it into the mainstream Fortran language.
