`T'rident Software makes 64-TRAN for the native C64.  
The ADD CLAIMS:     [I have never seen or used this product.]
- Generates machine code (50K available for user program)
- Includes a Linker/Loader and other tools.
- Standard free format FORTRAN plus EXEC, MEM, IF-THEN-ELSE.
- Intrinsic library with TRIG functions.
- It claims a speed for a compiled program to clear and fill a color graphics
  screen to be 2 seconds as compared to 32 seconds for interpreted BASIC.

Master Software (301)922-2962 sells it for $50.


ABACUS also has a FORTRAN compiler.  I do not know any details.
SDA (Software Discounters of America) lists it for ~$30 on Q-Link.

I have not used either of these products. I prefer C Power for C.
