According to a press release at http://www.pgroup.com/about/news.htm#6 ,
the Portland Group now supports Fortran 95. Previously it was an F90 compiler.

>From the site:

"The PGI Workstation suite includes the PGF77®, PGF90™, PGCC®, and PGC++™
compilers for the FORTRAN 77, Fortran 95, C, and C++ programming languages,
respectively. Version 5.2 includes full support for all Fortran 95 extensions
in PGF90; full native support for OpenMP parallel programming extensions
in Fortran, C, and C++; full support for the X86-64 application binary interface
(ABI) medium-memory model allowing application data sets and data objects
larger than 2 GBytes; native integrated scalar and vector SSE/SSE2 code generation;
and a bundled version of the ACML 2.0 library of highly optimized numeric
functions for mathematical, engineering, scientific, and financial applications.
PGI Workstation 5.2 is highly optimized for both 32-bit and 64-bit AMD64
and IA32 processors. Performance improvements delivered by version 5.2 average
more than 10% over PGI Workstation 5.1 on several industry-standard benchmarks,
including SPECfp2000, the NAS Parallel Benchmarks, and the Polyhedron benchmarks.
Performance improves as much as 25% on many popular engineering and scientific
applications including MM5, MOLPRO, WRF, POP, GAMESS, and others."
