Which Fortran?
Which Fortran?
(OP)
Last Fortran program I had was Microsoft Power Station Fortran V1.0 which Microsoft dumped. When the program began to give me fits on the network version of Windows 98 I threw in the towel.
I would like to once again use some of the programs that I previously wrote so I need to buy a new complier, editor, etc.
But which one? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
And what is the impact of Microsoft's Visual Studio on my choices?
In my case the cost of the program comes out of my bank account so cost is a consideration.

there was a few months ago a post with a listing of available Fortran compilers. There are two open source freebies out there, along with (by one quote) seven commercial ones. It isn't clear what you mean by the impact of MS Visual Studio on your choices.

However, if you wish to develop GUIs it gets more specific. For Windows type GUIs, Silverfrost is your best bet. I don't know about Unix GUIs - normally do those in C/C++.

My old programs used a screen input which I would like to continue.
I once took two classes in C and do not like it for many reasons. I don't know anything about Unix.
