Fortran for Windows XP-64

[gregp]

Will thelatest Visual Fortran compilers work on Windows XP-64 systems? I just received one and can not get any of my older (Compac Visual Fortran compiled) programs to load/run, nor will it load any of my older software (although it will run some of it by getting the executable fromacross the network link to my old computerwhich I really don't understand).

If I upgrade to the latest compiler will it support x64? Has anyone tested if libraries using the old 8 bit assembler DOS Interupt routines have any chance at all of working?

Thanks - Greg

Yes, Intel Visual Fortran supports Windows x64. You will need Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 (Standard Edition will do) and then install Intel Visual Fortran, using the defaults to install all components.

No, DOS Interrupt code will not work on Windows NT or later.

Thanks. Guess I'm going to have to look into getting the new compiler as it won't let me load then old one, and it won't find the link libraries across the network, although the visual studio and compiler work ok.

I did find that the Compac Fortran applications do seem to load/run, but the older Fortran 5.1 programs won't load. They both work up through XP-Pro, but it looks like that is the end of the line for the Fortran 5.1 programs.

Just thought I'd pass on that I found you can load the earlier 32 bit compiler onto the X64 and it seems to work fine. The only trick is to call directly the setup program in the /BIN directory, which is a 32 bit setup, instead of the one in the CD base directory, which is a 16 bit setup and thus will not run on X64.
