Migrating to Fortran 90
By James F. Kerrigan
389 pages, ISBN: 1-56592-049-X, $27.95 (US)

We have just published this practical guide to Fortran 90 for the  current
Fortran programmer. It provides a complete overview of the new  features
that Fortran 90 has brought to the Fortran standard, with  examples and
suggestions for use. The book discusses older ways of  solving
problems--both in Fortran 77 and in common tricks or extensions-- and
contrasts them with the new ways provided by Fortran 90.

The book has a practical focus, with the goal of getting the current
Fortran programmer up to speed quickly. Two dozen examples of full
programs are interspersed within the text, which includes over 4000 lines
of working code.

Chapters cover the following topics:

   - Aggregate array operations and array sections.
   - Derived types (structures).
   - Subroutines and functions revisited.
   - Overloaded operators and assignment statements.
   - Modules.
   - Allocatable arrays and pointers.
   - Improvements in file handling.
   - Numeric precision (KIND and numeric intrinsics).
   - Bit manipulation.
   - New intrinsic functions.
