The validated compilers are Fujitsu Fortran 90 and Edinburgh Portable Compilers Fortran 90. Both compilers run on SPARC workstations (Solaris 1 or 2) and the EPC compiler runs on other Unix workstations, also. Of course, no compiler will ever be completely bug free, but the validation process ensures that every feature of Fortran 90 is compiled and executed correctly. This includes verification that standard Fortran 77 programs are processed correctly and that all of the new Fortran 90 features--array processing, modules, recursion, structures, pointers, and procedure interfaces--are implemented correctly. If you would like information about the validation process, please contact me.
