A couple of weeks ago somebody posted an article about the new Microsoft Fortran 5.1. I am very interested in this compiler, so I hope that someone could send me more information. I would specially like to know about the Windows 3.0 feature which is included,and if the compiler supports any of the new Fortran 90 features.

Both Version 5.0 and 5.1 have Fortran 90 features, such as array syntax, CASE, DO WHILE, ALLOCATABLE arrays, and new intrinsics like VERIFY, SCAN, and LEN_TRIM. NAMELIST and structures are supported, and you can access command line arguments. Version 5.1 mainly adds the Windows support, such as the ability to add window titles, message boxes, and custom-sized child windows. You can view input and output in adjacent windows, cut and paste data, scroll through earlier output, and so on, according to their brochure. I'm not a Windows user, however, so I don't know how extensive the support is.

The text is a little vague in the area of useful memory available to a program. Does anyone know if you have to use windows to get to the rest of a PC, or does this compiler allow access to extended/expanded memory under DOS? regards, pete - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Peter N Roth roth@oasys.dt.navy.mil Objects in this office are closer than they appear.
