If it's for fun, then why limitting yourself to f77?

I very much like the FORTRAN-77 standard.,,
Some people would like a new Porche but I'd rather have a 1967 Mustang.



I'd like to at least use some minimal GUI routines rather than dropping
to a
big black text screen if possible.

The only Fortran compiler for MS-Windows I know that comes with its
own GUI and is free for noncommercial purposes is Silverfrost's FTN95,
http://www.silverfrost.com/ .

It is intended for Fortran 95, but it should compile f77 code as well.
