Free Windows Fortran Compilers?

(OP)
I want to try writing some user subroutines for ABAQUS and need a Fortran compiler.

Windows is prefered...

RE: Free Windows Fortran Compilers?

Another thought: I see very little on eng-tips forums on use of Fortran. It seems most of the discussion (piles of it, actually) is at:

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.fortran

A list-server covering Fortran issues is:

COMP-FORTRAN-90@JISCMAIL.AC.UK
(you post emails there asking questions; your post and replies are broadcast to those who signed up on the list to get them; see the web site for instructions for signing up)

Thanks!

Pretty wierd "skillset" required, eh?

RE: Free Windows Fortran Compilers?

Contrary to what many in the Computer Science academic world would have all of us believe, Fortran is alive and quite well. Its critics today most often cite shortcomings of the language as it stood nearly three decades ago, ignoring the several updates to the language since then. There is a standing committee that regularly meets to discuss and ultimately accept or reject proposals for extension of the language, and every so many years a new standard is issued. Fortran remains largely the language of choice among the scientific community for its computer work, with good reason. What I find amusing is when someone posts an anti-Fortran comment on one of the forums I mentioned earlier. The flood of rebuttal that inevitably follows, debunking the criticisms of the first poster, is rather humorous to read.

RE: Free Windows Fortran Compilers?

FORTRAN:  a language designed for efficiency in the generated code as opposed to ease in writing the compiler (C)...
