Full Fortran 95 support was available on ALPHA 10 years ago.  Thus, 
current ALPHA compilers will support the full Fortran 95 standard.  I 
don't know what the situation is with Itanium, but I'm sure there is 
full Fortran 95 support.  Alas, I don't think there are any plans to 
implement the Fortran 2003 standard with a VMS compiler, neither on 
ALPHA nor on Itanium.  VAX FORTRAN was THE Fortran compiler; DEC's 
compilers were the best compilers there were.  Now, HP doesn't even plan 
to support the next standard.  Sic transit gloria mundi.
