This is a really useful table !
Could someone add a column for the Portland Fortran compiler ?

Don't know the thumb drive letter.

I keep a setpath.bat file on the thumbdrive, open a brand new cmd.exe,
and run the bat file on the thumb drive before doing anything else.

something like "d:\gcc443\bin\setpath.bat d" if the thumbdrive is drive
letter d.

There still must be a neater way.

Indeed. Apart from the difference that I tried the Windows port from gfortran's download page, it
worked without errors. A PATH here and there, but those can hardly be mentioned as "problems".

I'm interested though. (saw it a few times but never looked into it). That www.equation.com above -
they develop a parallel branch of compilers, or have I misunderstood something from their page ?
What is their motivation for doing so ?
I see they're very hardy on the updates, so ...


Btw, the meeting went relatively well ... in short, it was mostly about presenting some
newer fortran features and their comparison to some of the more recent computational systems
(mathcad and matlab, specifically) in regards to should some newer features on some actively used,
but not so actively developed, applications be written in fortran (newer one>f90) or should we start
messing with mixed language combinations fortran/matlab/mathcad - (I've no idea how this last/first
combination's supposed to work) in which some of the newer comers are more comfortable. Their main
objective, as so many times before, is that they still have f77 in their mindset.

Indeed.

fortranwiki is coming along nicely (looking at the "recently" page, I see Jason is doing his bit
above and beyond the call of duty !!)
The last time I visited it, I thought it was rather ascetic, and that it would never live.
But now, I'm pleasantly suprised it is not so. Will definitely be visiting it more in the future.

One suggestion though. It is purely a esthetic issue, but wouldn't it maybe be a good idea, if the
cells in the table which contain "Y" be colored green, and the ones "N" red (or whatever
combination). Simply as to provide a more easier to look at viewpoint. One easily gets lost in the
columns/rows. (the thing that fortran drastically needs is visuality in its image).
