If you have a Fortran program and want to give it a graphical user interface, you are better off writing that in a language like Java or C++ and making it communicate with your Fortran backend, e.g. using command line arguments or, better yet, files. Java applications run on amost any platform (so you will have not only a Windows GUI but one for other OSs as well), and the backend can be developed in standard-compliant Fortran, eliminating most (if not all) compatibility issues. -- -- Philipp Emanuel Weidmann

See: http://www.mps.mpg.de/dislin/kap15.html#section_4 If you try it out, I hope you will post information about your experience. Daniel Feenberg
