Comments on: Dave Pitts is making progress running Fortran II http://www.mcjones.org/dustydecks/archives/2005/03/08/37/ Preserving historic software Thu, 20 Nov 2008 21:59:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Paul McJones http://www.mcjones.org/dustydecks/archives/2005/03/08/37/#comment-57397 Paul McJones Mon, 14 Jan 2008 15:27:43 +0000 http://www.mcjones.org/dustydecks/archives/2005/03/08/37/#comment-57397 Bob, The best answer is probably to install GNU Fortran, and use its g77 compiler, which can handle Fortran IV as well as Fortran 77 source programs. GNU Fortran is part of the GNU Compiler Collection, including C, C++, and various other languages. One way to install it on a Windows PC is as part of the free Cygwin package (see http://www.cygwin.com/). According to this page, g77 is no longer being maintained with the newest versions of the GNU Compiler Collection, so you may need to do some looking to find an older version: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranG77 .

Mon, 14 Jan 2008 06:09:53 +0000 http://www.mcjones.org/dustydecks/archives/2005/03/08/37/#comment-57379 I have just written a program in FORTRAN IV in order to solve an interesting math problem which was given to me by a fellow employee. But I have not the slightest idea how I can run the program. Any ideas? It is about thirty lines log. I have a few old Radio Shack Computers in my cellar and will get them out to see if I might run the program on them.
