The web page cited gives links to g95 and gfortran, and to the DISLIN library which is one approach to writing simple GUIs. If you want a Fortran IDE, google "Photran".

See www.lepsch.com/2009/05/downloads.html I'm pleasantly surprised to see that someone has integrated g95 and gfortran with Force! Note: This web site has G77, which is Fortran 77 + extensions (2 versions) AND older distributions of G95 and Gfortran (both Fortran 95+). I suggest you install g95 or gfortran instead of G77. While g77 has some extensions beyond Fortran 77, g95 and gfortran will compile almost all g77 programs, are easier to use with free-form source and give you the benefits of Fortran 95+ features. --- Elliot

Yes, at http://www.openwatcom.org/index.php/Manuals . Specifically http://www.openwatcom.org/ftp/manuals/current/f77lr.pdf . Lynn

But why is a > newbie doing f77 anyway instead of f95 or f2003? It seems to be at half.com for between $0.75 and $73.15. (Plus shipping, which is about $4.00 for US.) There may be some historical interest in such books and compilers. Otherwise, one should probably use a compiler such as g95 or gfortran. -- glen

Silverfrost FTN95 is free for windows. Full Fortran 95, nice GUI IDE, very nice debugger. http://www.silverfrost.com/32/ftn95/ftn95_personal_edition.aspx |
