- I don't know of many compilers, let alone translators, which support '90.
-
- Historically, the ANSI-90 FORTRAN was rejected by most major vendors,
- either due to a lack of backward compatability or conflicts with vendor
- extensions (depending on the vendor); it was rejected by Harris, DEC,
- HP, and IBM... dunno if Sun was involved at all.
-
- The differences are significant enought that you will probably have to
- do a fair bit of work to hack the most recent 386BSD translator (ftp'able
- from ref.tfs.com).
