If yours is a Windows environment, and if you don't mind an older commercial version (Fortran 77), I've been satisfied with the Watcom product available at http://www.openwatcom.org/.

I'm using the family machine. Under linux on a PC, g77 (now part of gcc) works OK in some cases. It compiles GAMESS fine, Gaussian do not support it, but I gather some people have succeeded and been told off by Gaussian. It gives rubbish with mopac, at least under Redhat7.2. The old fortran-to-C converter, f2c, followed by gcc also works fine and is better for mopac - otherwise much like g77. The intel compiler is free for f77. I think there are linux and Windows versions. There is a free f77 from the Salford compiler company. Salford C is not free but cheap. I have not used these a lot as I prefer unix. g77 also works under cygwin which is a unix shell sitting on top of Windows, not as linux separate with dual-boot or even a machine that runs only linux. If you want details and do not get them from others, let me know. I'm retired now but working at home and I am getting a new fast linux box in the next couple of weeks. I look forward to your summary. It may be very useful to me. Regards, Brian Duke. On Sunday 14 April 2002 08:33, George Hall wrote: > I am loking for a free fortran compliler to PC.

Mark ================================= Mark Thompson, Ph.D. Planaria Software Seattle, WA. http://www.arguslab.com ================================= George, If you are familiar with UNIX environment, check "Cygwin". Cygwin is a UNIX environment, developed by Red Hat, for Windows, so g77 (GNU Fortran compiler) is available under your PC. Check: http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ Masa Watanabe For research purposes you can get free and unsupported the intel compiler for fortran 95 (www.intel.com), there are manuals on line and math optimized libraries. I downloaded it for Linux but I think there is also a Windows version. ________________________________________________________ Manuel Melle-Franco, Ph.D. Dip. di Chimica "G.
