Expanding on Diego's post.  gfortran is contained in 
version 4.0 and later.  It is still in heavy development,
but quite usable.  AFAICT, it is a nearly fully Fortran
77 compliant compiler and it is probably somewhere around
90% compliant with the Fortran 90/95 standard.  As you
might guess, that last 10% is the hard stuff, oddball
corner cases, and of course bugs.
