Summary: Upgrading to Fortran 90/95

["Gustavo Moura" <gustavo;at;hathi.chem.pitt.edu>]

 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
