Thanks.

So, after this change we actually support Fortran 95 (or however it is
called). Currently we support a mix of both?
I'm sorry for all this, I don't know Fortran at all. Someone requested
this in the past(in August 2006) and I remember I asked which kind of
the language to support.

Hmmm, this is why I asked the person who originally requested Fortran
support what is more often used nowadays. Because I didn't want to add
two Fortran filetypes. Are we really both versions still used?
