I am evaluating Lahey v7.1 and Salford FTN95 as options to compile FOTRAN source code to CLR for use on a PocketPC (.NET Compact Framework).

The 14 day evaluation Lahey compiler has created somewhat usable CLR DLLs that I can use to test how well it will work. While not everything is supported (forms/IO/etc), basic computations seem to work.

So far the personal edition Salford FTN95 compiler has not been able to run even the simplest routine (a=b+c) as a DLL call on the PocketPC. Could this be because of the "Personal/Evaluation" display form that is displayed everytime the program/dll is called? The Compact Framework probably does not support this popup form (TypeLoadException). I am successful getting my DLL to run on the full .NET Framework (with the message form popup). I think this popup form is preventing me from making any sort of evaluation of FTN95 for my PocketPC requirements.

There are several problems with attempting to run FTN95 assemblies on the CF. Firstly the assembly has to be linked with the compact framework libraries which, at present, FTN95 does not support, the personal edition also makes calls into non CF supported routines to display the banner. The second issue, which I am not sure how much this affects the running of FTN95 assemblies on the CF, is that the Win32 DLL Salflibc.dll is still required.

There have been a couple of posts in the forums recently about the compact framework, but in general demand for this is very low. We will keep this situation under review.
