hello, i am using FORCE 2.0 compiler for fortran 77.
can you please suggest me a good and simple compiler for fortran 77?

Fortran 77 is a subset of more modern version of the languages defined
in Fortran 90, 95, 2003, 2008, 2018 and 2023.

I would suggest gfortran, which is freely available and supported,
also for new architectures.

force is not good as it adds automatically a new line after every WRITE
statement

That has always been the case. In the past, non-standard edit
descriptors such as "$" have been used to suppess this. Never
versions have ADVANCE="NO" for that reason.

I think openwatcom might be just the ticket. They even have a fledgling newsgroup started.

I don't know about that compiler.

This was a 2007 post that you responded to. Ray Banana kindly
resurrected the openwatcom groups at my question of their existence with
all of their posts. If asked, I would have told him to just let them go.

On the 6753rd day it rose again, although it feels more like an undead
zombie (as opposed to a zombie process).
