I am a Ph.D. graduate student trying to adapt some neurological data analysis
programs originally written in FORTRAN (SUN BSD f77 compiler) to run on the
IBM PC.  A few colleagues have offered to let me copy their FORTRAN compiler
and documentation for use in this project; however, I am unwilling to accept
this arrangement because it would be improper.  Regrettably, my stipend as a
graduate student is not large enough for me to be able to afford to purchase 
my own copy.  As a result, I may have to abandon this conversion project. 

I am curious about whether someone out there in net land might have upgraded 
their installation of FORTRAN to a more recent version by buying an entirely 
new set of disks and documentation ... and as a result might legitimately be 
able to donate their old disks and documentation to the Psychology Department
at USC (a nonprofit education & research institution) for use in my project.
If so, I would be most grateful for your kind assistance.  An acknowledgement 
letter could be provided describing the value of the disks and documentation
to support the tax deduction for contribution to a charitable organization. 

In any case, thank you for your kind consideration of my request.

Thanks again,
