Do we have any volunteers to try out a new compiler and linker (and runtime) to use with .NET and Windows 8?

We could test some of our programs. Please advise what is to be done.

We would also very much like to test your new windows 8 compatible compiler. What do we need to do?

The same problem occurs in Windows 7 with 5.4.0.0 and a new Project containing:
Program Test
Write (*,*) 'Hello World'
Pause
End Program

It is possible that FTN95 5.4 will not work on Windows 7 with .NET - especially Windows 7 x64. Can you try a more recent compiler?

If in the slightest doubt whether it is a version-related problem, I find it advisable to download the PE version and try that. If it is a genuine bug, then the PE version won't work, whereas if it is version-related then the PE will work and the older licensed version won't.

It is unreasonable to expect a version of FTN95 that may well precede a particular Windows version to work faultlessly: Microsoft are not sticklers for backwards compatability. This forum is full of discussions each time MS brings out a new .NET version OR a new Windows version.
