Compaq Visual Fortran is a complete development system that includes Compaq's industry-leading native Fortran 95 compiler, the latest visual development environment from Microsoft, full access to the Win32 Application Programmer Interfaces (APIs), Microsoft Fortran PowerStation compatibility, and support for numerous de facto industry-standard Fortran language extensions.
Fortran continues to be the development language of choice for high-performance scientific, engineering and technical applications. Compaq Visual Fortran shares a common code base with Compaq's Fortran 95 compilers for Tru64 UNIX, Linux Alpha and OpenVMS Alpha systems, giving broad source compatibility and rapid advancement in features and performance. The use of other languages in technical development such as C++ demands that Fortran supports mixed-language application development. Because Compaq Visual Fortran includes Microsoft's Visual C++ V6.0 development environment and "Developer Studio" tool set, Compaq has the unique advantage among PC Fortran vendors that it supports mixed-language development with Microsoft Visual C++ V6.0 within a common development environment.
Features- Optimizations for the Intel™ Pentium™ III, AMD™ K6, and AMD Athlon™ architectures for faster executables.
- The Fortran COM Server Wizard (in Professional and Enterprise Editions only) makes Fortran code available as a component to Microsoft Visual Basic, Microsoft Visual C++ and other languages that support COM. The wizard currently creates in-process servers and custom or dual interfaces.
- Visual Fortran adds concurrent (network) licensing as an optional license type. Concurrent licensing makes a pool of licenses available to users on a local area network. Only those users actually compiling consume licenses - a few minutes after compilation is complete, the license returns to the pool and is available for another user. This can be a cost-effective way of making Visual Fortran available to a large number of occasional users.
- Enterprise Toolkit (Enterprise Edition only) updated to V2.5
