At the moment you can't write all of a Windows program in Fortran. However, you
can do mixed language programming by using MS C for the Windows bit, and MS Fortran
for the number crunching. Microsoft intend releasing a WIndows compatible
version of their Fortran sometime next year :-). (BTW, I haven't actually done
this myself. I'm just quoting one of the MS gurus I heard last week).
