Where can I download I compiler for Fortran 77/90/95 (like Force 2.0
for Fortran 77) ?
I tried Silverfrost PLATO, but it incloses a nasty banner to my
executable files.

Yes, Silverfrost's free version puts up a nag screen.

As I mentioned in a different thread, in reply to a similar question

See www.lepsch.com/2009/05/downloads.html

for G77, G95 and Gfortran versions of Force.

I should download each compiler for each different Fortran version...
Anyway I can compile project, as in Plato, with Force?
Others compiler freeware?

No just choose one of them. Each package installs Force plus it's own
compiler. I happen to like G95.

I don't use Force, but I've installed it and it works. It allows
editing as well as compiling and executing programs from within the
editor.

If you don't want to use a built in editor, then

I recommend the prepackaged distributions of G95 and Gfortran
(MinGW32). You only need to download and run one .EXE file and select
the installation directory.

It's best to avoid installing to a directory with spaces in the path
name.

for G95 see www.g95.org

go to downloads, binaries and select the self-extracting Windows X86.

for gfortran see www.equation.com

go to programming tools, Fortran,C and C++. I usually pick the weekly
32 bit snapshot.

There are other free compilers. Open Watcom is one of them. It's a
fine package but it is limited to Fortran 77 plus its own flavor of
extensions.

I don't think anybody's home at the salford/silverfrost store anymore.
It does have a nice visual debugger, tho.

Gfortran is probably your best bet.

There's nothing "nasty" about the banner.
It's there to remind the user that it's not to be used for commercial
purposes.

Yeah, it lasts long enough for you to take a drag, rub your eyes, and
look at fortran output in a visual environment.

In addition, if you read the manual, you can figure out how to use the
command line version of the compiler which can produce executables
without the banner.

The last release of FTN95 was 28 Feb 2010 - I think we can assume that
they are still at home.

Cheers,

Cool. I'm making a memory stick with a remote computing capability and
am very close to having something to do on my girlfriend's laptop other
than read perez hilton, whom I find entertaining. Plato III is
something I've had on a memory stick before, and it was always nice to
code in.

The extensions were very good with image manipulation, and they had a
forum where you could ask questions. At that time, I was using image
manipulation to learn modern fortran. A visual debugger is an
indispensable tool for the autodidact.

Now I'm using GIMP to learn unix.

Hi.
You should try the gfortran compiler. Simple and fast.
