That will need updated to gcc-fortran - it may have been using an ancient package convention - you may have to check and update some package names if never upgraded for many years. Cygwin is a rolling release so if you upgrade using setup at least every year or so, when thinsg are quiet, it will avoid you missing out when obsolete packages are replaced. > DISLIN is a free scientific plotting package(www.dislin.de).

Lou It is not free/libre/open source, and only provides a proprietary no cost licence for non-commercial binary download and use, so if you use it in any job, you must pay to license use of it for a period of time, or choose a truly free alternative. The last update on that proprietary package was 18 months ago, so it may no longer be actively developed or supported: you should check its mailing list for recent activity; its status does not affect its licence. -- Take care.
