The Wiki Arjan is referring to is: http://wiki.tcl.tk

There are a number of ways you can use Tcl/Tk to create GUIs for
Fortran programs:

- The GUI prepares all the input for the Fortran program
- The GUI takes over the dialogue that the Fortran program normally
presents
- The GUI uses the Fortran routines directly to do the computations
- Create the GUI from within the Fortran program using the facilities
offered by Tcl/Tk.

For the first nothing special is required. For the second, the Tclers'
Wiki
provides a few examples (though they may require some help from the
Fortran
program - due to buffering the output!).

For the third (and - incomplete! - the fourth), have a look at my Ftcl
project -
http://ftcl.sf.net.

I have placed a ZIP file containing a demonstration (MENU.EXE) of a
textual user interface at the link:

http://www.corrugraphics.com/TUI/Fortran TUI.zip


You may download the file and view my demo. I would be interested in
comments regarding its utility. The code was written and compiled
with Microsoft Powerstation and uses some internal subprograms unique
to that particular compiler. Some difficulties I have had with
converting the code to CVF 6.5 can be read about on the thread How to
print Extended ASCII Characters:

Obsolete compiler and OS limits utility. For TUI work it may be more
portable to use pdcurses. It is, of course, written in C.

I stumbled onto a pdcurses module for fortran at
http://www.qimr.edu.au/davidD/Curses/testcurs.f95

I compile my Fortran Subroutines into dlls using gfortran, and write
guis to call the dlls and display results etc. using the Free Pascal
Compiler, Lazarus Project ide.
As Gfortran and Lazarus are available for Linux, Windows and Mac, it's
a cross platform solution. Also, Lazarus is released under the LGPL
licence so it's possible to build comercial software with it.

Albert
