We have one (1) work on the new version of FORTRAN in our library:

"Fortran 8X Explained"   by Michael Metcalfe

Can anyone recommend other books on Fortran-8X (-90, -Extended)?

From a quick peek at Metcalfe's book, it appears Fortran's keeping
the things I've always liked about it (simplicity), while including
a few things I've always wished it would have (record-like data 
structures, recursion).  Are any commericial compilers available 
for Fortran Extended?  If not, any guesses as to when such compilers
will be available?

Thanks in advance,
