Hi,
I am a Mechanical Engineer, running a computer system for
a large R&D company. I am also a grad student in MSME
program at University of Buffalo. Consequently, I haven't
seen the light of day four about three years (if anyone sees
my wife, tell me what she looks like, 'cuz I don't want to
miss the chance of saying Hi next time I come home!!).
I have been out of the current and latest trends in Fortran
for a little bit now, but now am returning......
Please send me inordinate amounts of Email and postings,
letters, ...home movies..., whatever, I need to catch up
on a couple things;
I am writing a couple of VERY large fortran programs for
my graduate work (Engineering Optimization, Geometric Modelling,
and other topics).
I.) What is this deal about Fortran 8x ?????
II.) What is the latest on Fortran90, how can I make suggestions
toward the standard (I have come across some ideas in my
off the wall grad work that would make nice additions
to the Fortran standard - I don't like the idea of it
dying a painful death at the hand of C )
III.) ***Most Importantly*** what is the latest in PC
Fortran compilers??? any interactive stuff yet
like Quickbasic and TurboC ????
I am using an ANCIENT compiler (MS Fortran 3.06
I think???, written for the TExas Instruments
Professional Computer (another Fine Fine computer
venture, along with the DEC Rainbow, IBM PCjr, and
TI994A).
Where can I get, (buy, beg, borrow, or steal) the
latest PC compiler ?????????
Thank you all in advance for the tons of responses I hope
to get!!!!
