WINDOWS
Summary:
Using the Microsoft FORTRAN Optimizing Compiler versions 5.0 and
earlier to compile Windows programs is not supported under version
3.0 of the Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK). The
Windows SDK support is limited to support of the Microsoft C Compiler
and Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM).
To compile Windows programs, use the Microsoft FORTRAN Optimizing
Compiler version 5.1. This version includes the necessary libraries
to compile code to run under Windows version 3.0 in standard and
enhanced mode.
More Information:
The most important reason why FORTRAN version 5.0 routines will not
work under Windows is that the FORTRAN version 5.0 run-time libraries
are not designed to communicate with Windows; they are designed for
either DOS or OS/2 programming. The Windows SDK includes specially
modified versions of the standard C run-time libraries that are
designed for Windows programming. A standard FORTRAN version 5.0
library, such as MLIBFORE.LIB, makes no allowances for Windows
programming.
