Thank s, Dr. McNeill Date: Tue, 8 Jan 2002 17:09:00 +0100 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2653.19) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1" It's not quite clear what you are expecting. There's a Fortran77 compiler frontend included in the Cygwin gcc distribution. You have found the command. The following suggestions assume that you have started a bash shell. If you have installed Cygwin using the SETUP program, you should have a Cygwin icon on your desktop. Click this icon to open a bash shell. For documentation: man g77 or info g77 The g77.info may not be properly installed. If the last commands just complains that g77 is not found: cd /usr/info install-info g77.info dir There's no IDE (integrated development environment) included with Cygwin (except the debugger, gdb). I believe some exist, but can't recommend any. There's a GCC IDE at http://www.bloodshed.net/download.html, but I'm not sure it is any good for Fortran. You can also compile Fortran programs from within emacs. Kind regards Peter Ring -----Original Message----- From: Dr. James H.

Thanks, Dr. McNeill Dear Cygwin: Recently I purchased a HP Pavilion 750n PC, which has Windows XP, to perform numerical calculations at home relative to my theoretical research in physical chemistry. I thought about purchasing a FORTRAN compiler but a friend of mine suggested that instead I download Cygwin and use the available FORTRAN compiler in this package of free-ware. Well I did that last night, and from reading his E-mail instructions I was to download the g77 FORTRAN compiler. However, it did not work on my new PC at home. Yet, I only could access the g77 FORTRAN compiler in DOS via Command statement on RUN. If there is instead a FORTRAN compiler already with the Cygwin and I was not suppose to use g77 please let me know ,and please inform me on how to access this Cygwin FORTRAN compiler if it exists. I tried searching for any FORTRAN compiler that came with Cygwin but I could not find any statement on how to utilize it on the web site. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.
