Windows 2000 is probably the worst Windows when it comes
to the DOS Box. Windows XP is probably the best in this connection.
Outside of a Fortran 90 compiler (like Salford FN95 or Lahey LF95)
which compiles Fortran 77 as a subset of Fortran 90,
there is really no better free Fortran 77 than Salford FTN77. There is
documentation available (Library.pdf and Userguide.pdf)
which detail extensions. Suggest that
you write a supbrogram to implement what seems to me as a
most unconventional ALLOC "command". If you need to process
parameters passed to the Fortran .EXE, see the Command_Line
function in Library.PDF. UserGuide.PDF tells how to use libraries.
