New user--How to compile .for

[ggaugler]

New purchase of Intel Visual Fortran Pro 11 IMSL. Opening the Visual Studio and selecting one of my .for files, the compiler always makes a "Hello World" binary. How to get Visual Studio Fortran to work on my real FORTRAN files?

The Visual Studio IDE is centered on the idea of "projects" and "solutions". If you want to use it, you will need to read the documentation and learn how to use it.

You can also work at the command line and compile (and, optionally, link) if your application uses a small number of source files, and you can use a Make-like utility for slightly larger projects.
