Under Vista, there's some pressure to make you conform to certain

In VB6 I can get the appropriate folder names using an API call to
SHGetFolderPath. Not sure how I'd do this in Fortran, since it
requires a windows handle as one of the arguments.
What's a good way to handle getting these directory names?
Most commercial Windows-based compilers have Windows API interfaces
(at least partial) supplied as modules. Look for the API you need/
want the first. If that is unsuccessful, look at similar APIs
interface descriptions in the associated Fortran module source file
and write the interface manually.
As other regulars here note, this is inherently platform-dependent and
non-standard, so the key to any future portability is segregation and
modularization of the code to isolate such system-dependencies as well
as possible, then document where they are.
