Not so fast!  I do believe it's true that only FORTRAN has native
support for parallelism, in the form of vector operations.  MPI and
PVM are libraries external to the languages in which they're used, and
as such, Ian's statement is correct.  It would be wasteful to burn
some good literature just because the guy misunderstood a statement in
it...
