I uploaded a copy to rapidshare, since I don't have a rapidshare account this
will be automatically deleted if there are no downloads in some amount of time
(? 30 days).

So, I couldn't find WatFor77 by googling, so I uploaded a copy to rapidshare:

A utility package for Watfor-77 is still available here:

http://www2.latech.edu/~mcorley/wfuser/wfuser.htm

including binary, source code and docs.

Other docs from Skip Knoble are here:

http://ftp.aset.psu.edu/pub/ger/fortran/hdk/w77stuff.zip

A web search on "Watfor77.zip" might help.

Do we want to perpetuate the use of this obsolete dialect? What are
the plans to advance OW to F2k3?

Of couse WATCOM is not the brightest bauble- but it
have some very useful features. Including embedded assembler
in the F source. One very valuable feature is that the compiler
is free - if you want to send someone a program that they
might want to modify, improve ... whatever .. they can
get the compiler easily (but for Windows, not Linux) -
which removes the need to be compatible with all existing or
just obseleted (sic) compilers.

It does have some post 77 features ... structure, dynamic
allocation , if then else, select case etc. What 9x
level that puts it at I don't know.
Maybe someone who knows WATCOM 77 better than I do would like to take
a stab at that .
