CVF and Windows 7

CVF and Windows 7

CVF and Windows 7

(OP)
I used to do more FORTRAN programming but haven't done much lately.  We have Compaq Visual FORTRAN loaded on Win XP and we will get Windows 7 in a few months.  I am wondering if my old CVF will run on Win7 (32 or 64 bit)?  Has anyone had any experience with CVF and Win7?

RE: CVF and Windows 7

It doesn't run on Vista so I doubt it would run on W7.  Best use it in an XP VM.

Thanks for the tip.  I guess my choices are to pay for the Intel version and upgrade to Intel Fortran for the once or twice a year I need to modify my old Fortran routines, or try to install the CVF in Win7 and see if I can get it to work, or look into the GNU gFortran compiler.

I went to the wiki for the gFortran package and it is a little over my balding head.  Has anyone been able to get the GNU fortran compiler to work in Win 7 (32 or 64)?

RE: CVF and Windows 7

Hi there:

Over the Internet, I have read that "old" Windows XP compatible stuff that does not run under Windows Vista, could and/or should run under Windows 7 ...

The best thing is to give a try and see what happens when you have your software loaded and installed on a Windows 7 computer ...

In a long run, the best thing is to pay the dues to both Microsoft and Intel and your "old" FORTRAN routines and code will run no matter what the operating system and FORTRAN complier are out there -- as long as you have access to the compatible operating system and FORTRAN complier combination such an approach would result in having no compatibility issues to deal with ...

Thanks,

Gordan

RE: CVF and Windows 7

If your version of W7 is not the home edition, it may have XP mode which is supposed to run XP compatible programs on W7.  Seems to work on 64-bit W7 but I haven't tried it on 32-bit W7 yet (mainly because I don't have a 32 bit machine that has enough resources to run it).

White Paper - How ESI is Helping Move New Medical Device Product to Market Quicker & More Cost Effic
Early Supplier Involvement has long been a strategy employed by manufacturers to produce innovative products. Now, it almost seems like a necessity. Because decisions made in the design phase can positively affect product quality and costs, this can help add value to OEM bottom lines. This white paper will discuss many facets of ESI, including why it’s so valuable today, what challenges limit the benefits of ESI, how cost is impacted, and more. Download Now
White Paper - Moving to a Driverless Future
This white paper describes what we see as the best practices to support a sustainable engineering process for autonomous vehicle design. It exposes how to use simulation and testing in common frameworks to enable design exploration, verification and validation for the development of autonomous cars at a system, software and full-vehicle level to drive a mature product development process for automated driving.

Research Report - How Engineers are Using Remote Access
Remote access enables engineers to work from anywhere provided they have an internet connection. We surveyed our audience of engineers, designers and product managers to learn how they use remote access within their organizations. We wanted to know which industries have adopted remote access, which software they are using, and what features matter most. Download Now
