If you want to take it over, please feel free. Otherwise, I will update the port some time in the next few weeks, then ask I be taken off as maintainer when I send in the new port. The problem with G95 is, as has been pointed out on the list, the rather old version of gcc used as the basis. There are good reasons to go with later versions of gcc for general use, and G95 then requires (yet another) version of gcc be installed. I have spoken about this a couple of years ago with Andy Vaught, but he seemed to not have plans at that time to bring that aspect up to date. Bud Dodson -- M. L.
