Preface
The Fortran 90 Handbook is a definitive prehensive guide to Fortran 90
and its use. Fortran 90, the latest standard version of Fortran, has many

description of Fortran 90, developed to provide not only a readable
explanation of features, but also some rationale for the inclusion of features
and their use. In addition, “models” give the reader better insight as to why
things are done as they are in the language.
This handbook is intended for anyone who wants prehensive survey of
Fortran 90, including those familiar with programming language concepts but
unfamiliar with Fortran. Experienced Fortran 77 programmers will be able to
use this volume to assimilate quickly those features in Fortran 90 that are not

Chapter 0 provides a brief overview of several of the most important features
that are new in Fortran 90. Chapters 1–14 correspond to Sections 1–14 in th
