    hello, i am using FORCE 2.0 compiler for fortran 77.
    can you please suggest me a good and simple compiler for fortran 77?

    Fortran 77 is a subset of more modern version of the languages defined
    in Fortran 90, 95, 2003, 2008, 2018 and 2023.

    I would suggest gfortran, which is freely available and supported,
    also for new architectures.

    force is not good as it adds automatically a new line after every WRITE
    statement

    That has always been the case. In the past, non-standard edit
    descriptors such as "$" have been used to suppess this. Never
    versions have ADVANCE="NO" for that reason.

    I think openwatcom might be just the ticket. They even have a fledgling newsgroup started.

    I don't know about that compiler.

    This was a 2007 post that you responded to. Ray Banana kindly
    resurrected the openwatcom groups at my question of their existence with
    all of their posts. If asked, I would have told him to just let them go.
