Do you mean in a contributed package to be installed in R? There are no plans to use F95 in R itself. If so, perhaps by 2.3.0, but there are a lot of issues to resolve. For example, how do you indicate that the source file is F95? Some compilers accept a .f95 extension, but not all (and it is not ever clean which do). >> If not, by now, how is it possible to 'smothly' use F95 code in a >> package (i mean, using gfortran)? It is not. The largest R platform, Windows, does not have a supported F95 compiler. (g95 works with MinGW, but R has no support for it as yet, nor can one expect people to have installed it.) >> Something like stopping compilation if a non-f95 compiler is found.

(It has considerable support for F95, but not complete support AFAICS.) And that it is the only F95 compiler? How do you propose to tell if you have a F95 compiler? -- Brian D.
