No. Section 1.1 (the very 1st section) states 1.1 Scope ISO/IEC 1539 is a multipart International Standard; the parts are published separately. This publication, ISO/IEC 1539-1, which is the first part, specifies the form and establishes the interpretation of programs expressed in the base Fortran language. The purpose of this part of ISO/IEC 1539 is to promote portability, reliability, maintainability, and efficient execution of .... The third part, ISO/IEC 1539-3, defines a standard conditional compilation facility for Fortran. A processor conforming to part 1 need not conform to ISO/IEC 1539-2 or ISO/IEC 1539-3; however, conformance to either assumes conformance to this part. > Is a copy of the standard freely available? The Standard is not free. You, however, can find drafts of the various standards that are provided so people can provide feedback to J3. See the gfortran wiki for pointers to drafts. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37032
