Does anybody know if the latest version of Microsoft Fortran supports graphics functions or not? I heard from somebody that it does but I hope someone more knowledgable out there can verify this for me. A more general question: Does anybody know of ANY PC Fortran compiler that includes a graphics library interface? Thanks in advance.

Basically it is the same graphics package as that with MS C 5.0, and I was able to translate my C graphics into Fortran graphics quite easily. MS 5.0 supports a record structure the same as a C structure, which is used by the graphics library. So if you can do it in MS C, you can do it with MS Fortran. -- Bill Silvert, Habitat Ecology Division.

It does include graphics functions, and has quite a few sample programs to demostrate it's capabilities. -- Steve Bridges | NCR - USDPG Product Marketing and Support OLS Steve.Bridges@Dayton.NCR.COM | Phone:(513)-445-4182 622-4182 (Voice Plus) ..!uunet!ncrlnk!usglnk!pmday_2!steve "Helicopter 4 Mike Bravo cleared low-level to the heliport"
