There are no open source Fortran 90 compilers or translators avalible.
g77 does support a few Fortran 90 extensions, but nothing that a reasonable
Fortran 77 compiler wouldn't have anyway (eg, no array syntax or modules).
A free for some uses Fortran 90 compiler can be found somewhere under
http://www.psrv.com/ although I hear tell that the license is very
restrictive about what you can do, and ISTR hearing it's quite buggy.
I've got a feeling its implemented as a translator to F77.
If you don't mind using a subset compiler, then F provides the nice bits
of Fortran 90, and there is a no-cost version avalible for download. The
URL is something like http://www.imagine1.com/
Other than that, there are several commercial offerings. I've not had
any real problems with the Portland Group compilers but haven't tried
anything else. I don't know how much luck you'll have finding a
translator, either - those that exist tend to convert F77 to F90.
There is a comprehensive Fortran on Linux web page out there, but I don't
seem to have the URL handy.
