From: Allamarein on 6 May 2010 16:46 I'm a newbie in Fortran 77. It's possible to find a manual with built- in statements and that show this language, without digressing too much?

The best book I know on that is "Effective Fortran 77" by Michael Metcalf, Oxford 1990, but it has long been out of print because that Fortran dialect has been out of date for 20 years, so you may well find it only in libraries and on the shelves of oldies. But why is a newbie doing f77 anyway instead of f95 or f2003? -- John Harper

Anyway...If I would f2003, where can I found a free software (like Force for Fortran 77) and documentation?

Clive Page has made his textbook available at: http://www.star.le.ac.uk/~cgp/fortran.html But, as another has pointed out, you might be better going straight to a modern Fortran. -- | David Duffy (MBBS PhD) ,-_|\ | email: davidD(a)qimr.edu.au ph: INT+61+7+3362-0217 fax: -0101 / * | Epidemiology Unit, Queensland Institute of Medical Research \_,-._/ | 300 Herston Rd, Brisbane, Queensland 4029, Australia GPG 4D0B994A v

Where can I download relative documentation? Where can I download a free compiler for Vista with GUI (e.g. Force 2.0 for Fortran 77)? Let's say I need a start-pack. |
