Is anyone familiar with Fortran 77??? I switched to Mac few months ago so now I need instruction where to download and how to install Fortran 77 on my MacBook. Hope its not complicated. 🙂 Thanks in advance!!! Cheers!

You hope FORTRAN 77 is not complicated? Or do you hope running said 34 year-old programming language on a Mac is not complicated? Both are quite complicated.
Im using Fortran for some time, but since i switched to Mac I didnt install it. I hope that installation process is not complicated.
While I'm not a fan of Fink.sf.net, they do have a fortran port for Mac OS X.
While I have a lot of VAX/VMS (VAX-780) Fortran experience, I effectively stopped using Fortran in '85.
You will need to install Xcode. Then you can get gfortran here. It is Fortran 95 with some Fortran 2003 extensions, but f77 should still compile.
Thanks for the help. Ive just searched for Xcode and apple offers download link 4.1 GB. Is there any 'smaller' version of it? 😮 This one is Xcode 3.2.6 and iOS SDK 4.3.
Xcode 3.something should be on the install DVD that came with your Mac.
Thanks a lot Jeffrey! Found everything!
