I'm new here, so I guess now would be a good time to introduce myself. I am an engineer with some experience with MATLAB, VBA, etc. I am looking to rewrite some matlab scripts, containing a lot of matrix manipulations, into stand-alone programs for work(we don't have matlab). Fancy GUI's aren't important, and basic output to text file is preferred.

I have windows xp 32 bit at home, windows 7 64 bit at work. I would like to know if there is a compiler I could run on my xp and compile for both xp (at home testing), and 7 (at work)? Also, any suggestions on books, versions of fortran, or compilers would be greatly appreciated. I apologize if this question has been posted before, I've been looking around for a while and haven't found an answer yet.

Thanks.
 
You have a rather large choice of FORTRAN-95 compilers. Several of them are free :
- g95 (free)
- gfortran (free)
- siverfrost
- intel fortran
- lf95 (Lahey/Fujitsu)
- Nag

About general information :

 
silverfrost has a free version too. You can use its IDE (Plato) or install it on Visual Studio Express (also free)
 
Thanks for the information, it's nice to have a general idea of where to start. I will be trying FTN95 Express from the silverfrost website.
