I'm not beating up on Andy. I'm just reporting history and why it is nearly impossible to compare g95 code to gfortran code. > So what I'm looking at and comparing has nothing to with him at all in > fact.

I suspect the timeline goes something like Andy closes g95 repository. pbrook and stevenb fork g95 to gfortran, and asks the FSF/GCC steering committee for permission to import code into GCC. 3 months later FSF/GCC steering committee gives the OK. Meanwhile, pbrook and stevenb continued to work on code in their private trees. -- Steve
