ResumoUsers of other, trendier, languages often assume that Fortran is an unused relic from a bygone age. However, evidence for its vitality may be found in the large and, apparently, growing number of Fortran compilers and tools. One can readily find half a dozen commercial Fortran 95 compilers for the Intel Windows platform, and nearly as many for Intel Linux. In addition, cheap or free Fortran 77 compilers are available from a number of sources.As a service to customers, Polyhedron Software (a UK-based developer and reseller of products for Fortran programmers) has produced a series of charts comparing the features of these compilers. The comparisons cover areas of interest to compiler users, including run-time performance, diagnostics, debugger capabilities, support from third-party libraries and tools, language extensions, GUI programming capabilities, and many others. In this short paper, I will describe some of these comparisons. Readers are referred to the Polyhedron Website (http://www.polyhedron.com) for the charts themselves.
