I'd like to program in FORTRAN-77 (for fun) on a Microshaft Windoze XP

Could someone be so kind as to reccomend something.
A free FORTRAN 77 compiler for Windows is g77 from the GNU compiler suite. I recommend to install MinGW (e.g. MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe) from www.mingw.org/download.shtml. This package contains the g77 compiler among others and further libraries you may need later.
It may make sense to install MSYS (e.g. MSYS-1.0.9.exe) for the "make" utility and other useful tools too.
I briefly tried the Watcom Demo but the docs seem to indicate that it only
supports TEXT-MODE.
All compilers produce text-console programs without GUI libraries. If you want to build FORTRAN 77 programs with a graphical user interface you need e.g.:
- JAPI (www.japi.de)
based on Java, but GUI-building in Fortran. Easy, but development stopped 2003. Open source.
- Dislin (www.dislin.de)
primarily a graphic library for function or data plotting but it contains some GUI widgets too. Closed source and commercial but free for non-commercial use.
Other libraries are non-free and for commercial or for Fortran 90/95 compilers AFAIK. I do not know any FORTRAN 77 compiler which supports GUI-development on Windows out-of-the-box.
I'd like to at least use some minimal GUI routines rather than dropping to a
big black text screen if possible.
See above. If you are looking for an IDE (Fortran Development in a graphical environment), have a look at Photran (www.eclipse.org/photran/).
Best regards,
Hani
