I need to download for an exam at the university (so I don't want to buy it)
the program Fortran 4.0 Power Station.

Can anyone help me to find it in the web?
I tried to search unsuccesfully.. :-(

Thank you all

Ciao

Silvia.

Has anyone told you to use that specific compiler or do you just need any
Fortran compiler, so that you can practice your programming skills for your
exam?

If the latter is the case then you could give g95 a try.

Hope it helps,

1. That was a copyrighted commercial product. Downloading it would be
illegal. Needing it for an exam doesn't actually change that.

2. It has not been available for quite a few years, except used.
(I don't know whether its license allowed resale or not.)

3. It was a pretty poor compiler anyway.

4. If your class requires that particular compiler, then I recommend
finding a different prof. :-(

If you just need a Fortran compiler, rather than that particular one,
there are several available. Some options are even legally free. See
other postings here. People are likely to be much more helpful with
that.

Other posters have mentioned all the information about this being a
commercial product, offered other "free and legal" options, etc.
However, if you are determined to find this particular compiler, it
may be available 2 places (NOT for free):

1) eBay - very seldom found there as a separate product, but a
command-line version was included with Digital Visual Fortran, v5,
which is still offered from time to time.

2) EMS Professional Software (http://www.emsps.com/oldtools/) has the
following, according to its web site:

a) FORTRAN Powerstation 4.0, Standard, CD; $395, includes CD with key,
license agreement and manuals. No box or registration card.

b) FORTRAN PowerStation 4.0, Professional, Upgrade, CD; $795, in
retail box with license agreement and unused registration cards. See
version information for liberal upgrade rules.

c) FORTRAN PowerStation 4.0, Professional, CD: $1950, shrinkwrap
retail box. Perfect condition except for 3 inch by 1 inch tear in
shrinkwrap on box rear. Very rare in this condition.

NOTE the HIGH prices for a compiler with a poor reputation.

If you find this compiler, you will need the patch to fix a problem
with memory leaks associated with certain string usage. Microsoft no
longer distributes this patch, despite repeated requests to do so.
Links to some MS Fortran patches are give at the following URL at the
Fortran Library:

http://www.fortranlib.com/freesoft....tware%20Patches

Both links appear to be broken at the present time. The link to a
Russian site for the PowerStation patch was established because MS
would not allow posting of the patch in the US.

The link to earlier version MS Fortran patches is also broken,
apparently because MS reorganized it's downloads once again.

If you acquire a LEGAL version of the compiler, I can e-mail you the
patch for Powerstation v4. I will not help you with an illegal
compiler.

Thank you for all your kind answers.
First of all, it is not for me, but for my boyfriend.
I mentioned the exam, because he hates programming and he doesn't want to buy it
to use just for an exam.. so i wondered if there were a freeware.. or a
shareware.. just the time of the exam ;-)
If it is not a good program.. well I agree.. I program in other languages ;-)
Anyway I will look for other versions.. maybe they will fit anyway.
If I'll have further problems, I will torture you ;-) (joke!)

Bye bye

Ciao

Silvia.

If it is just a matter of a free compiler: try g77 (on Windows you will
need
Cygwin or Mingw as well, but it is all available).
