I was just wondering if there were any Fortran developers here and what compiler, setup they use. I know I should learn another language but I don't have the time right now. I'm an engineer so Fortran works for my stuff. I just need a compiler thats cheap/free. BTW, I use Fortran 90.

I'm not a Fortran programmer (because I freakin' detest the language), but I was forced, against my will!, to write in Fortran while I was in grad school.

Most mac-heads that are doing real Fortran programming seem to be using Absoft, which I believe also comes with the IMSL.

It gets good reviews.

g77 is freely available. You can install it rather easily using fink.

g77 doesn't support Fortran 90. And Absoft's stuff is great but the basic version costs $800. And thats academic pricing.

NAG is a bit cheaper. There will probably be no cheap/free alternative until gnu f95 is ready, which looks like a ways off. If it's any consolation, other *nix and M$ users aren't much better off as far as price is concerned.
