Does anyone have a Compaq Visual Fortran compiler that they would not
mind parting with? I am willing to buy one. Old Power flow software
I have will only work with a Compaq fortran compiler.

What is in your code that is so specific to PowerStation? The Intel
compiler comes with lots of PowerStation compatability options, including,
if I remember correctly, the ability to read PS-formatted binary files. We
recently took some old code where the only PS-specific need was to read
binary input files, theknowledge of the contents of which are lost, but
are vital (they define some rivers we were modelling); and it worked fine.

Maybe I missed something, but I didn't notice that the OP said anything
about PowerStation. He was asking for CVF, not for MS PowerStation. Did
you perhaps misread the "Power Flow"?

Off the top of my head, reading the OP, I would hazard to say: nothing.

Last I checked, FPS and CVF were completely different products.

Well, yes, but CVF implemented nearly all FPS extensions. Still wrong
question being answered, I assume.

Yes, ... well, maybe not all, but a great deal of them. There was some
confusion with the names, as I remember (same thing, different name).
I could be wrong though, 'twas some time ago.

I find that one of the main differences between the two was that cvf
was much more "strict" about the code. With fps you could compile and
build things which wouldn't go through any other compiler.

The one that got me was file-scope variables and INTERFACE TO.

Delyn,

I have one, V6.6 Profesional. I do not use it anymore, but I am afraid
that it might not install anymore due to license experation.

Like other posters state, is the Intel Visual Fortran not a better choice?

Kind regards,
