    There are a number of Fortran compilers available, however most (if not all)  
    you'll have to pay for.  Microsoft used to sell a great PC Fortran compiler,
    but the best these days probably Windows Fortran compilers include Lahey
    Fortran (they have a whole product line from personal to professionally
    focused compilers) and NAG Fortran.  There may be a GNU Fortran for Windows,
    though I haven't looked lately.  I use Fortran at work under Solaris or
    Linux.
    
    Here's a great FAQ on Fortran that has perhaps some answers for you:

    To get back onto satellites, weren't the first codes for orbit decay and
    prediction written in Fortran?
    
    Jim.
