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,
--
