Fortran Which FORTRAN Compilers are Compatible with Windows 7 32-bit?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around finding a suitable FORTRAN compiler for Windows 7 32-bit after encountering compatibility issues with an old DIGITAL Visual Fortran installation that previously worked on Windows XP. The user expresses frustration over error messages when attempting to use Visual Fortran on Windows 7 and seeks alternatives that offer similar functionality to Visual Fortran, which integrates an editor and workspace in a user-friendly manner. Suggestions include exploring Microsoft Developer Studio and FORTRAN PowerStation 4 as potential options. There is also mention of Windows Virtual PC, which is noted to be available only on Professional or Ultimate versions of Windows 7, leading to a discussion about the costs associated with upgrading from Home edition to Professional.

Hello all,

Although I am currently working on implementing FORTRAN on my Mac, I would also like to find a compiler that works well with Windows 7 32-bit. I initially had Win7 64-bit installed on my computer, but when I went to use my (really old) DIGITAL Visual Fortran install disk, it said it was incompatible. It had been working with Windows XP just fine. So I reinstalled Win7 32-bit. The install went smoothly so I thought I was all set. However, upon opening Visual Fortran, I get a series of error to the effect of "ThisFile not found." My friend had same problem and said the only way he was able to fix it was to run XP. I really rather not, since I already bought Win7 and I am finally getting used to it.

Are there any FORTRAN compliers out there for Win7 that are comparable to Visual Fortran? It is very similar to all of the other "Visual" products (i.e. editor, workspace, all in one spot ... kind of like Matlab).

Hey Borg!

No I have not. I had thought that was only available on the professional or ultimate version. I have home, bit will look into it and post back.

Hi Saladsamurai,

I think that you might be correct on that. I had a laptop for a short time this year with the Windows 7 home edition on it and it was lacking a lot. If I remember correctly, XP Mode is free but it only runs on Professional or better like you said. They charge around $100 to upgrade it to the Professional version so you don't have to buy a completely new CD.

Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'

I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.

Thread 'Who is responsible for the software when AI takes over programming?'

I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence. One must wonder then, who is responsible. WHO is responsible for any problems, bugs, deficiencies, or whatever malfunctions which the programs make their users endure? Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
