| <dd><p>Frees memory previously allocated by <code>MALLOC</code>. The <code>FREE</code> |
| intrinsic is an extension intended to be used with Cray pointers, and is |
| provided in GNU Fortran to allow user to compile legacy code. For |
| new code using Fortran 95 pointers, the memory de-allocation intrinsic is |
| <code>DEALLOCATE</code>. |
