- Hi,
-
- I have a fellow programmer who has written a DOS based fortran program that
- uses graphics. He has written it using Fortran 5.1 from Microsoft.
-
- He now wants to port it to windows so that both the user interface and graphics
- are windows based.
-
- So my questions are:
-
- i) Is there a fortran compiler out there that can produce Windows code and
- supports simple graphics and do windows, buttons, listboxes etc.
-
- ii) If the answer two i) is no then has anybody gone about converting a DOS
- fortran program that uses graphics to Windows. If so can you please E-Mail me
- and detail your experiences.
-
- He has ordered the latest version of Fortran from MS that can produce code
- under but the windows graphics support I am not too sure about and I doubt
- whether it can do a user interface controls (ie the buttons and listboxes and
- all that).
-
- I suspect that the latest version of MS Fortran will support simple graphics
- but the user interface will have to be done in C/C++ and put in a DLL.
-
- Thanks in anticipation,
