 The only Fortran currently available for the TRSDOS family is Microsofts
 FORTRAN-80 (which is a subset of ANSI Fortan-66). This package includes
 the fortran compiler, linking loader and Microsoft Edit-80. It does not
 include the Z-80 Macro Assembler (sold separately) that is included when
 you buy directly from Microsoft. In any event - Microsoft has no intetion
 of updating Z80 Fortran-80 (I believe 3.4 is the last version (1980).
 
 Since you have a Model 4, you can always buy Montezuma Micro CP/M 2.2
 (far superior to Radio Shack's CP/M 3.0). And then you can try to
 get Nevada Fortran or Waterloo Fortran (I think these are available
 for CPM/80.)
