Okay, I guess my false impression arose because of a few things:
- The announcement of the GNU compiler collection version 4.0 mentioned
Fortran 95 but not much more (http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.0/changes.html)
I cite the text:
A new Fortran front end has replaced the aging GNU Fortran 77 front
end.
The new front end supports Fortran 90 and Fortran 95. It may not
yet be
as stable as the old Fortran front end.
The link to the Fortran 95 home page (http://gcc.gnu.org/fortran/)
talks
mainly of the language and when you really look for it it says that
the
compiler is called "gfortran".
-
http://www.heise.de/newsticker/resu...3&words=Fortran
(German text) does not mention the "name" of the Fortran compiler but
frequently
refers to the "Fortran 95 compiler"
- I have seen more references to "g95" than to "gfortran" (but perhaps
foremost from people
only casually involved in Fortran programming)
Well, at least this discussion has solved one particular mystery for me
;)
