hello,

i have been given a couple of small programs with a .FOR extension and
advised that this program - http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranBinaries
would be the best way of compiling them. As i use windows XP i have
installed the native version, but now i have no idea what the next
stage of compiling the programs is - any help would be appreciated -
e.g. what part to open.

The programs are either just a .FOR file or have associated .1 and .2
or .IN associations i am more interested in the FOR and .IN files

Many thanks for any help

andy

I would guess more likely to be an input data file for the program, or
possibly an include file of source code. But those are all just pretty
random guesses, as the file extension alone doesn't tell much in this
case.

If these are not proprietary or secret, someone else could compile
them for you. I'm offering.

OpenWatcom is C & F77 (.FOR is often F77 as opposed to F90 or
later fortran standards) and OpenWatcom is free. It can
run on DOS, Win16, Win32 (including XP) and OS/2 and can
target all of those (and more) from any one of those.
