I am engineer in a company in FRANCE involved in earthquake engineering for structures and bridges.
I developped softwares, for time history analysis, in DELPHI during 10 years. It was a nice development tool for my concern.
But now, I will be retired in not more than 2 or 3 years and the boss wants to select a new engineer in place of me in the company.
For civil engineering engineers, PASCAL and DELPHI are not common and, maybe these engineers will not want to work with this tool and will prefer FORTAN or C++ Language.
(The main subroutines, in specialized books are written in FORTRAN).
It is why I would like to transfer my softwares in visual Fortran (I don't like C++).
I would like to buy IVF but I learnt that in order to compile a program the computer must have visual studio .net. I know that with CVF we don't need visual studio.
How work the combination IVF and Visual studio; do we have to go from IVF to Visual Studio to compile or is it hidden to the user ?
I don't want to work with visual studio.
Thank you in advance,
