IDE for Fortran?

Yes, it's fortran. :-) Does anyone know of an IDE for it?

I remember that Eclipse has plug-ins to add support for many languages.
So I took a stab and did an online search, which was:

The first 2 hits we

I would ask this question in a Fortran group.
The percentage of developers here, times the
percentage working in Fortran, would be
so low as to be non-existent.

Usually the pricing on stuff like this, is intended
for business customers, and not casual users.

I didn't even bother looking to Microsoft for this,
as they tend to emphasize language support focused
on "filling their App Store" with applications. Not
on people solving real-world problems. Whereas any
company supporting HPC or the scientific community,
would have more interest in the market. There is
still scientific interest in Fortran. The main advantage
or perhaps even the sole advantage, is tapping into
libraries that never got ported to C.

You can also look through the Wiki list, for something
suitable. There is a separate section for Fortran.
Have a look at them, go to the web site, and see
if there is an IDE that goes with it.

Fortran II? IV? 77? All?

With any luck, you won't find one :-)

If you mean an IDE like Borland's C++ Builder or Delphi or MS's Visual
Basic then I suspect you're out of luck. I'm unaware of any version of
"Fortran with objects" and the "objects" part seems to be a requirement
of some type of a visual gui, e.g. create a window of this size and
populate it with these buttons by simply dragging and dropping from some
toolbar.

That said, I imagine there's some editor that you can create, edit,
make/link/compile and test all from within the editor. Likely with color
highlighting help etc.

Maybe you meant to reply to the OP?

I for one have had more than enough of the three versions of Fortran
that I mentioned above.

Also, Code::Blocks (http://wiki.codeblocks.org/) has a Fortran plug-in
(http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php...Project_plugin and
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php...rtran_Compiler)
that adds a symbol browser and code completion. fortran.com has their
Fortran Tools 5.0 that features GTK-Fortran to provide a collection of
procs for window-like I/O in a Fortran program and which includes the
gfortran compiler, codeblocks & plug-in, books, and other software. It
is payware at $49 but is definitely cheaper than Absoft's $700
commercial license for a compiler and tools set
(http://www.absoft.com/Absoft_Windows_Compiler.htm).

You did not post in a freeware newsgroup and never mentioned any price
criteria, so both freeware and payware are solutions to your inquiry.
