Check out WATFOR-77 from WATCOM, 415 Phillip Street, Waterloo, Ontario,
Canada N2L 3X2 (519) 886-3700  Telex 06-955458.

This is from the preface of the WATFOR-77 Language Reference:

"WATFOR-77 is an implementation of the Amercan National Standard
programming language FORTRAN, ANSI X3.9-1978, commonly refered to as
FORTRAN 77.  The language level supported by this compiler includes the
full language definition as well as significant extensions to the
language.  WATFOR-77 is based upon some well known FORTRAN language
compilers, namely the University of Waterloo's WATFOR and WATFIV-S
compilers (implementations for the International Business Machines 370
series) and the WATFOR-11 compiler (an implementation for the Digital
Equipment PDP-11)."

They have versions for different OS including MS-DOS.  I have used them
on VM/CMS, VAX/VMS and MS-DOS and they work well giving good
diagnostics thus aiding immensely in debugging.  I do not know if the
compiler includes the VAX FORTRAN extensions, but I am sure that WATCOM
can provide that information.
