[Item Permalink] Fortran 95 on Mac OS X -- Comment()
GNU Fortran 95 Compiler for Mac OS X: "The GNU Fortran 95 complier, g95, has been compiled for Mac OS X. The binaries can be downloaded from the HPC for Mac OS X web page."

Beware: g95 is alpha-level software, so it probably will not work if you have a real-world Fortran 95 program. Here is an extract from the compiler status page:

G95 is not complete, but it should already be usable for some user code. The implementations of COMMON and EQUIVALENCEare fairly new and thus not well tested, so give them a try.
If you need Fortran 90/95 on Mac OS X, you should check out the IBM, Absoft, and NAGware compilers.
