Can anyone guide me to find the quickest/easiest route to add a GUI interface (drop-down menus, graphical output., etc) to an existing suite Fortran applications (developed for VAX Fortran some time ago)?
I'm busy converting the source code to Fortran 95, to run on a PC under Windows XP. But I can't get the hang of the Compaq Visual graphic interfaces (QuickWin, etc.), nor do I have enough time left on this earth to master the low-level routines in the manual.Is therea library of GUI routines I can just link into?
Bearing in mind that I'm a dinosaur when it comes to Fortran programming, can anyone help?

There is very little for this that is easier than QuickWin. Simply create a QuickWin project, add your sources and build. You can then add menus and graphics, and CVF provides samples of varying complexity. Other options are the commercial products Winteracter and GINOMENU.

I also recommend the book "Compaq Visual Fortran: A Guide to Developing Windows Applications" by Norman Lawrence.
