Subject: Summary: Upgrading to Fortran 90/95
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


Dear CCL readers,
	last monday I posted the following question:
	"Can someone out there suggest a good book on upgrading to
Fortran 90/95 for someone with a reasonable knowledge of Fortran 77?
I am about to start writing a program and I would like to take
advantage of the new capabilities of Fortran 90/95. "
	Here you have a summary of the responses that I have received.
My thanks to Sven Bovin, Matt Wessel, Huub van Dam and Joao Brandao.
	Sincerely yours,
				Gustavo L.C. Moura

>I have the book Fortran 90 by Loren P. Meissner, published by PWS,

>90, and has some 77 to 90 transition tips.  Hope this helps.
