Thanks to David, Ian, Ralf, and Robin for comments. All helpful.

The special Windows requirement is to be able to drag and drop a data
file onto the program icon to cause the program to analyze the data
file. That doesn't work with console programs, at least any way I've
tried. It does work with QuickWin or VSW. It's needed for teaching
undergrads, for most of whom a command prompt is a foreign concept.

This program works for me on Vista (32 bit). Just retrieve the command line
or a command line argument.

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6002]
Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Users\epc\temp>type x.f90
character*64 s
integer i,ier

call get_command(s,i,ier)
print *,'|',s,'|'
print *,i,ier
pause

end

C:\Users\epc\temp>g95 x.f90

C:\Users\epc\temp>a hello, world
|a hello, world |
14 0
PAUSE statement executed. Hit Return to continue

Now when I drag and drop "foo.dat" onto "a.exe" here is what I see in the
console window:

|C:\Users\epc\Desktop\a.exe C:\Users\epc\Desktop\foo.dat |
55 0
PAUSE statement executed. Hit Return to continue

I don't know if this works on XP or earlier.

I know v. little about Windows, especially more modern ones, but to add
just that functionality you can use scripting. Wsh, Wscript/Jscript/VBScript
should be able to do this in just a few lines:

[UNTESTED]
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments
WshShell.Run "your_exe < " & objArgs(1)

Cheers, David Duffy.

Gino can do that and is one of the easiest to program.

Yes. It's also US $3600!
