They are not the same. If you compile netCDF with gfortran and then try
to use g95, it will not work. You must compile netCDF with the same
fortran compiler you use for your netCDF programs.

But netcdf works equally well with either gfortran or g95, and is tested
nightly on both.

So from our point of view it doesn't matter which you use...

Thanks,
