Running a fortran programm under Windows XP

Hi there,
I have an executable programm written by Fortran.
but this programm cannot be run under Windows XP.
Is there a way to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance

More information is needed. What error messages do you get when running
it on Windows XP? Does it run on MS-DOS or on other versions of
Windows? Or is it an executable created on a Unix/Linux or other
non-Microsoft platform? If you have the Fortran source code, you should
try to compile it on a PC running Windows NT/2000/XP. Links to
compilers can be found by searching this newsgroup or the web.

Btw the spelling is "program" not "programm".

>From your brief (but insufficient) description, I suspect your
executable was produced by a compiler such as the Lahey F77L/EM-32
using old DOS-extender technology. These won't run under XP, or under
Windows 2000 with hot fix #KB835732. The message that appears is
somethng like "Stack Fault Protection...." If this is the case, compile
using a compiler that produces a native Windows executable. Also, you
may be able to use an old 16-bit compiler to do the job. XP will run
some of that stuff.

Did you try it in a "dos" (i.e. command prompt) window
(I know they aren't the same but if it walks like a duck
and quacks like a duck ...)
I use WATCOM fortran 77 with dos4gw extender and
programs work fine in a XP "dos" window.... unless
they are trying to access ports - if so you have to
know which port addresses you need, and use allowio to run your
program.

Rubbish, it's "programme".

I used to think it amusing to start my Fortran programs with a statement
like

programme main

Worked find in fixed source form. :-)

But later (by many years), some of my British acquaintances told me that
this spelling wasn't actually correct for the use of the word as applied
to a computer program. :-(

Are you sure it didn't crash probes into Venus?

Indeed. Regrettably, nobody has informed the BBC of this yet....

I once had to explain to a student programmer that, despite how she pronounced
the word, Fortran did not understand "interger".

MS-DOS is not, and never has been, a version of the Windows OS, but when
ever have you let facts interfere with your inimitable brand of bullshit!

The question was if it ran on MS-DOS, or if it ran on one of the other
flavors of Windows (3.11, 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000). There was no statement
made that MS-DOS is within the set of "other versions of Windows", other
than in your perception...

Sheesh.

Sorry you can't read. The question was why doesn't it run on Windows XP.
Get it? Clearly too complicated.

And who's squeezing your head tonight shithead, or you're jerking off again
(wanking old chap?, anyways don't let me interrupt your self indulgence)?
BTW, is this overtly www wanking of yours part of your duties as a UD(el)

Interesting - when I reinstalled it with Win95 as host, dos4gw vanished
- now it creates win/nt character mode executables, and it seems faster
than ever.

I think that's because the BBC is exclusively run by arts graduates, who
have never dirtied their hands with actual programming.

Yes - I usually use win/nt char. mode (whatever that
means ) but have to use 32bit DOS + DOS4GW when I want
direct port, memory access, or INT routines (using "pragmas").
I think the first version of openwatcom did not have dos4gw
- it had some other dos extender(s).
