I have had a brain injury - resultant included a very/real bad memory.
So can anyone advise me how I might be able to get a free (am an invalid and NOT allowed to work), download of a way to compile & run programs in the Fortran 90 language on a Windows 7 platform. THANKS

Cygwin is a viable option. Usually comes with gcc installed.

Click the setup.exe link and save it. Any time you want to install new libraries, compilers, or tools, open setup.exe and select one of the mirrors, search for what you want to install, select it, and install. Very simple.
