Becare of a statement/thinking like that.
What I meant was that if you walk up to a (non-Windows) computer and type
`awk`, it starts up (and prints a help message, if it's gawk). But if you
type f90 or whatever, you probably get "f90: command not found". That's
not to say that you can't install it easily enough if you have root, but it
does mean Fortran is less widely available.
