Some of my software is used by beginning students. I've tried to make
learning simple by using the "quickwin" option (Intel Fortran) or the
equivalent "vsw" option in the Lahey compiler.

Those options make console program into a graphics-mode Windows
program that runs in a scollable console window. They also provide a
command-line argument when a data-file icon is dragged to the program
icon.

Now I'm retired, commercial compilers are looking expensive. I am
wondering if any free compiler has something like those options?

The Silverfrost compiler (for windows) has a similar feature when using
a freely available library. You can also create the same effect using
dislin's gui widgets (windows, linux, osx).

Thanks. I'll check them out.

See http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortran and use dislin with it. Also the geany
editor integrates well with gfortran as an IDE.
