As I've said to Terrance Wright off the list. I use the RealWin Library
which is available directly ( http://www.indowsway.com/home.htm) or through
Lahey. It supports LF90, Digital Visual Fortran, I-forget-the-name
Powerstation 4.0, and Absoft Fortran.
The library has the appearance of a Fortran subroutine interface so I can
stay close to a Fortran-only environment without troubling with the
inticacies of another language as well as those of a new library. It allows
for incremental porting to a Windows environment. Since many parameters have
useable default values. These can be accepted intially and improved upon later.
The software is supplied with source code and discussions of numerous
examples which save a tremendous amount of time. A lot of cut-and-paste from
these examples can be used in initial development.
With the F90 compiler, you can also just plug in a
print *,"test value", value
and it will open a window and show the debug information. This won't work
with other compilers I understand including LF95.
PAUSE "some text" and STOP "some text" can also be used for quick tests.
The windows debugger that comes with LF90 will also work - most of the time-
and I have not figured out why not when it doesn't.
Even though the index of the manual could use some re-working, I highly
recommend this approach.
