I may be mistaken but I believe the Intel Fortran compiler supports the MS Fortran extensions

  There are some caveats AFAIK. Intel changed some default behaviors. I believe you can change them with a command line switch though. Of note is the SAVE property on all local variables being the default on MS. Now that’s an insane default if there ever was any!

    Sounds like it's "legacy" or "heritage" supported, which is not a good place to be. Yeah, it still manages to work, and it's available for use because it costs Intel effectively nothing to leave an installer up on the web for download, but there's no real "support". That's not a piece of software I'd want to tie my code to.

  Interesting -- I'll look into it. Is it open-source (in the spirit of future-proofing)? Answering my own question: It doesn't appear to be.

    It's not, unfortunately. But how are you "keeping the lights on" with your old MS Fortran based code? Still using an ancient Powerstation? compiler, or Compaq Visual Fortran, or ... ?

      We're still running the old compiler, probably within DOSBox or something similar. There are one or two boxes on which the executable can currently be built.
