MinGW is a free and open-source implementation of gcc (including Fortran) 
for Windows.
It's a command line utility, but I believe that a gui capability is provided 
by installing Dev-C++ . (I don't know whether installing Dev-C++ 
automatically installs MinGW, or whether they're 2 separate installs.)
