This new volume represents a revision of the first edition published in 1996. The main changes are: 1) The Fortran 95 material is now fully integrated with that of Fortran 90, whilst always maintaining a clear distinction between the two language levels. Our aim is for the book to be equally convenient for readers working at either level. Note that Fortran 95 is now available from Cray, Compaq, IBM, Lahey/Fujitsu, NAG, Salford and SGI. 2) We have added a chapter on floating-point exception handling, an officially-approved enhancement to Fortran 95 that will be included in Fortran 2000. This feature is already available in the NAG compiler. 3) We have added a chapter on allocatable dummy arguments, functions, and derived-type components, another officially-approved enhancement to Fortran 95 that will be included in Fortran 2000. This feature, too, is already available in the NAG compiler. 4) All examples are now in lower case and we have moved to Latex as text processing system. The opportunity has been taken to make minor improvements and to incorporate the latest language interpretations; the introductory chapter takes full account of the latest developments in the standards arena. The book is thus a complete, up-to-date, and authoritative description of Fortran 90, Fortran 95, and the ISO-approved extensions that will be part of Fortran 2000.
