Following this recent email
i thought that it might be useful
to put together a fortran resource file
on fortran and graphics and windows
programming.
i used gino at imperial, uniras at king's
and now use dislin under linux.
whilst at king's i also wrote
some documentation on vb calling
fortran and c++.
i was therfore going to break things down into
1. simple graphics programming using a library
for doing plots, maps etc.
2. putting a visual interface onto some fortran code.
i. raw windows programming
ii. using a visual development tool like vb
to do the visual bit and then call fortran at the back end.
i've been to the poloyhedron site and they have some pointers.
i would also include details of
interactor
winteractor
gino
ginomenu
real win
if people have details of anything else i'll gladly
include the information.
i've also done java programming. would there be any interest
in examples of java calling fortran?

Thanks for the info. Actually, I've been able to explore the Lahey
installation disks (I'm using version 5.5), and it comes with eval versions
of Winteract and RealWin, (but I've downloaded newer versions to try). I
couldn't find WISK, though. (Generally I prefer to use the tools that come
standard with the app while I'm learning.)
I'm a little dismayed with the lack of progress I'm showing so far, but I'll
get it. My trivial program gives me a "serialization error" and I can't even
find it defined in the docs.
Crap...I told myself 5 hours ago that 13 hours was enough FORTRAN for one
night...and I'm still at it.
