The subject and keyword lines say it all.

Does such a thing exist?

I realize that FORTRAN is not a popular as C/Pascal/BASIC and that Borland
probably won't produce "TURBO FORTRAN", but that's tha price range of
interest to my daughter and a couple of other students at Georgia Tech.

They want the option of doing FORTRAN programming exercises on a PC instead
of waiting in line for a terminal on campus, but they don't have $$$$ for
one of the (expensive) commercial products.  (I don't plan to buy one for them
- tuition/books/housing/food come ahead of convenience, and standing in line
just might teach them a little patience. :-)

Thanks,
John
