Getting Started with G95

Hello All,

Its been over a decade since I last programmed in Fortran but have
recently found that I need to pick it up again. Someone kindly pointed
me to G95 which I happily downloaded and installed. However there
isn't a whole lot of documentation (i.e., none at all) telling me how
to get started. In particular, which of the various executables in the
install directory do what and when they should be invoked. Could
someone provided some pointers, clues, or what have you.

Thanks,
gravmath

Are you running g95 on Windows? If so, installing the "self-extracting
g95 for Windows systems without Cygwin" creates an executable g95.exe .
Put the directory it is located in on your PATH, and then from the
Windows command line you can type

g95 -o xy.exe x.f90 y.f90

to create an executable xy.exe from sources x.f90 and y.f90

There is more info at http://www.g95.org/docs.html and in the
readme.txt file that accompanies the g95 distribution. There is a
newsgroup gg95 at http://groups-beta.google.com/group/gg95 for g95
questions.

If you are going to be writing new Fortran code, I suggest learning
about the new features of Fortran 95 -- there are links to tutorials at
