My colleague tried compilation of the module using our Fortran 95 compiler 
alpha version for Win95/NT (currently its name is Fortran 90 compiler yet :-)). 
At that time, we had the following compilation errors:

Fortran 90 diagnostic messages: program name(ISO_VARYING_STRING)
 Module subprogram name(s_to_c)
  jwd2063i-s  "iso_vst.f90", line 308: The dummy argument of the elemental procedure shall not appear in a 
specification expression.(name:string)
 Module subprogram name(s_to_fix_c)
  jwd2063i-s  "iso_vst.f90", line 320: The dummy argument of the elemental procedure shall not appear in a
