They also have pgifortran (my PGI license has expired, so I can't say what they do today).

Correct; it does not look like Absoft has consolidated down to a single Absoft executable.  FWIW: I just asked an Absoft employee -- he said:

-----
We have af77, af90, and af95. The af77 driver enables some legacy FORTRAN 77
extensions but there is no difference between af90 and af95.

Also, all three drivers define the following symbols if the C pre-processor
is invoked by convention ( all cap file extensions .F .F90 .F95 .FOR) or
by option ( -cpp ), -D__ABSOFT__  and  -D__ABSVER__=140
