There is a third Fortran compiler based on the GCC backend called "g95". It is not a part of GCC and uses copyrighted source code illegally (numerous GPL violations). The head developer is rumored to have serious bad karma. Apart from that, g95 is an ok Fortran 95 compiler. Always ensure that ambiguous switches like "gnu95" means gfortran and not g95. I don't know what NumPy does.

These comments are out of order - even for the internet. I remember gfortran was a fork of g95 which occured when the developers wanted to go in different directions. It does not violate the gpl, source is available for download. Jon
