Fortran 95 is a revision of the ISO Fortran 90 standard based on the interpretations that have been requested following its implementation and use. In addition, new features to keep ISO Fortran aligned with High Performance Fortran have been added, along with a small number of other improvements. It is now in its final stages of formal approval. This volume represents a thorough revision of "Fortran 90 Explained". It includes more detailed explanations of many features with more examples (giving about 18 additional pages), as well as new appendices (on avoiding Fortran 77 extensions and an extended pointer example, a further 12 pages). Also, it incorporates all the interpretations, and has a completely new chapter on Fortran 95 (18 pages). It is a complete and authoritive description of Fortran 90/95. Table of Contents: 1.
