My son will be taking a Fortran course in High School in the Fall. I'd like to put a Fortran compiler on his PC at home (an AT&T 6300 MS-DOS machine). Any recommendations? My anticipated needs are: Preferably under $100. Fast and easy to use. Integrated environment (like Turbo C or Pas) would be nice, but not essential. Needn't be complete. I doubt they'll do anything really sophisticated in this course. But..... Subset of the standard (I suppose Fortran 77). I am guessing that what he debugs at home he'll run on a different Fortran at school. None of these "requirements" is hard and fast. Thanks in advance. +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | Dave Tutelman | | Physical - AT&T - Lincroft, NJ | | Logical - ...ihnp4!mtuxo!mtunb!dmt | | Audible - (201) 576 2442 | +---------------------------------------------------------------+

Ellis Computing of Reno, Nevada, publishes Utah Fortran. Computer Shopper.
They also publish Cobol, Basic, Pascal and Pilot. They sell the COBOL
product for about $70.00. I think Fortran is about the same. These people
have been around since CP/M days (1979) with Nevada Cobol etc... Their
phone number is 702-827-3030. Also, Utah COBOL is based on ANSI-74
standards, so I don't know what the Fortran is based on.
Disclaimer: I do not own nor do I endorse any of the above products.
