Being the lone FORTRAN programmer in the known POV universe I must take
exception to your comments about the language :b) .  Fortran 95 (yes, an
actual, current ANSI standard) has been thoroughly polluted with all the
structured, object oriented "improvements" that clutter C++ and associated
languages.  The Fortran 2000 ANSI standard promises to continue this
deconstruction of a once fine language ...

Also, Lahey (www.lahey.com) offers a free Fortran compiler.

So there!  :)D
