    Fortran

    Ok, so I want to fiddle around with Fortran to see if I can figure out the language. I've done some searches for Fortran compilers but am a little confused about the results. I'm looking for a relatively easy-to-use fortran compiler. The tutorial should be easy to find on my own.

    Has anyone worked with Fortran on a Windows PC? Do you have a suggestion for a compiler? Are there an GUI Fortran compilers for windows?


    Thanks!

    I believe Visual Studio 6.0 was the last VS version that had Fortran (Microsoft shipped this product in 1998).

    However, it looks like several oems make a plugin for VS 2005.

    Search google for 'visual studio fortran'.

    I suppose if I want freeware I'm gonna have to go with something that's not as easy to install and use.

    Cool Re: Fortran

    Check out www.cygwin.com

    If you download and install everything they have you will have access to all of the GNU development tools in a Windows environment.

    In this environment you will find a FORTRAN 77 compiler (f77), among many other useful tools.

    As for an IDE, check out www.eclipse.org/photran/

    But generally all you need to do is write your FORTRAN files and then execute a batch/command/script/make file with the f77 options you want.

    Be thankful that you don't have to use punch cards!


    Enjoy!

    Re: Fortran

    You might ask also over at the comp.lang.fortran newsgroup.

    A quick look over there turned up Silverfrost FTN95 Personal Edition, which is free for personal, non-commercial use. It states that it is fully integrated with Visual Studio (if that's your preferred IDE). See http://www.silverfrost.com/11/ftn95/overview.asp
