Since then there have been several revisions to the language. The revisions are Fortran 90, ISO/IEC 1539:1991 Fortran 95, ISO/IEC 1539-1:1997 Fortran 2003, ISO/IEC 1539-1:2004(E) Fortran 2008, ISO/IEC 1539-1:2010 and J3 is currently working on the next revision. You can find committee drafts of these standards via the gfortran wiki. -- Steve
