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.
