Re: find a Fortran teacher

Sampay,
First you asked about F77, and now F90.

If you have any Fortran compiler available to you from your department
at the University, then you should learn that particular form of
Fortran. You are going to have the most problems, not with the code
writing, but with the compilation and linking processes, unless you can
simply give your code to some service department to be compiled and run
for you.

This is why I suggested to you to get a Fortran book and an old F77
compiler and play with in on you own computer as part of the learning
process.

But even if your department uses an F90 or F95 compiler you can still
write simple code which would be perfectly compilable under an F77
compiler. You just wouldn't find your errors so easily, but you would
have have an easier time learning enough to achieve your purpose.

If you are not going to be a Fortran programmer other than to complete
a PhD, but just want to collect data and massage it to provide input to
your available molecular modelling system, then learn F77, write your
code, and compile it with whatever compier is available.
