My thanks to those who helped me solve my problem, and it has been solved.
A couple of days ago, I wrote:

I received quite a few helpful suggestions.  As it turned out, the majority
of the suggestions cited a freeware package (BCF77 ver 1.3b), available at
most of the major archive sites. Definitely at WU and SIMTEL.
Check the PD MS-DOS archives, directory "fortran", for the file BCF7713B.ZIP,
if you want a copy; its about a quarter meg of download. 

Anyway, I downloaded it, and it seems to be just what the doctor ordered,
or close enough anyway.
 - Seems to run on anything Intel from my 386-40 to my son's 8086 box.
 - Compiles and links Fortran-77 pretty quickly and hassle-free.
 - Includes an inconvenient but workable debugger.
 - The docs (originally in German) have been augmented by an English
   translation.
 - The progress and error messages from the compiler, linker, and debugger
   are in German.  While this will prove a challenge to my son, his
   background in languages should allow him to handle it with some effort,
   and will probably be a good experience in the long run.

	Hannes Blankenstein (jbla@giraffe.in-berlin.de)
	Bob Hood (thor@arrakis.denver.co.us)
for pointing me in the right direction, and especially to
	Andre Koestli of Stuttgart
for creating the package and making it freely available.

Thanks for other suggestions to:
 - Joi Ellis (msjle@uxa.ecn.bgu.edu) for suggesting Lahey's Personal Fortran,
   available mail order for $89.
 - Doug Sewell (doug@cc.ysu.edu) for pointing out that Microsoft's Fortran
   compiler is currently on sale for $149.
 - Steve Hovater (svh@verdix.com) for offering to lend me his Fortran while
   I needed it.

Thanks for the help, everyone.
