If you want to compile and run Fortran in DOS mode on a Windows XP
machine, the older F77 compilers will supply a default stack of 8k,
but you will need 12k (#0c00) on an XP computer because of the way
Microsoft implements its security system. When using the SYSTEM or
SPAWN facilities, the stack space will not be enough unless ou change
it with EXEMOD.exe, which itself has to have the stack extended to
12k.
And yes, usually you will get only a text user interface. I suggest
leaving any graphice to a third-party system or to Excel which can
extract what you need done from a text file.
If, however you want a Windows executable program as a result of
compiling on XP, I only know of MS Professional 5.1 which will do this
as an F77 compiler. I am sure there are others though.
But can I sugggest you use F90 or F95 compilers in F77 mode (which
means fixed form and confining yourself to the F77 syntax). I have
found this most ewarding and allows very understandable programs to
result.
