>binary file which seems incompatible with microsoft fortran

You cannot expect file compatibility between different compilers in the
area of binary files though I would expect that binry compatibility
of direct access files should be given, as there is no record information
in the file (at least on unix) I don't know if Microsoft has done
something special to this.

It is most likely that unformatted sequential files are incompatible, though.

Did you compare the two files and see any difference? What difference do you see?

You may try with a newer libf2c.a I have put into ftp account of
getz.physik.rwth-aachen.de in ~/pub/f2c and see if there is any difference.

compile using    gcc file.c -lf2c -lm -lc
