I have done some work on updateing the varying string standard to exploit the 
features of Fortran 95. The proposed changes and an updated working document 
in HTML is included in web pages that can be found at

http://ns7.liv.ac.uk/jls/

I would welcome comments. 

The module compiles under a beta version of an F95 
compiler but bugs in the compiler have not allowed any significant testing to 
be done yet. As soon as I obtain access to a working F95 implementation 
(preferrably on a PC under win95/NT since I do most of this work on my 
portable on trains) I will test the proposed code.
