Synopsis

This updated examination of the FORTRAN programming language includes a more detailed explanation of many features, more examples, new appendices, and a new chapter on FORTRAN 95, which 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 minor improvements.
