Could you please suggest me a good book on fortran 90/95 that is
available on net in pdf format or any other format?

There are several books available in PDF format
at http://www.fortran.com (go to the Fortran Store--
you don't need to register to browse or buy).

Which are "good" depends on what you are looking for,
but there is certainly a wide variety, from basic
tutorial text with lots of examples (Fortran 95 Using F
and Programming in Fortran 90&95), a reference (Key
Features of Fortran 95), advanced topics and examples
(Array and Pointer Techniques ... and Algortithms and
Data Structures).

The price for most is $10 (one is $15). Such a deal!

The Fortran 95 Handbook (mentioned in another msg) is
available there in paper format.

As an experiment (marketing 8^), two of the PDF books
are available from Lulu (http://www.lulu.com/fortran).
This is an interesting site for those interested in
books, but there aren't many computer books there yet.
