Fortran 95 Handbook

The Fortran 95 Handbook a comprehensive reference work for the Fortran programmer and implementor contains a complete description of the Fortran 95 programming language. The chapters follow the same sequence of topics as the Fortran 95 standard but contain a more thorough and informal explanation of the language's features and many more examples. Appendices describe all the intrinsic features the deprecated features and the complete syntax of the language. The Handbook also includs a feature not found in the standard: a cross reference of all the syntax terms giving the rule that defines each term and all the rules that reference it. Major new features added in Fortran 95 are the 'FORALL' statement and construct pure and elemental procedures and structure and pointer default initialization.
