Yes, but in that directory wasn't nothing else together (only F77 docs). That
is why I suggest subdirectory \G77\ or \F77\.

By the way, where are F90 or F95 or F00 docs and download sites?

I agree with you. 

First in the logical order and then the alphabetical order. It is easier to
read and find info this way. But you had to correct many info- pages, because
they are not conform to each other.
