Hi Guys,

    I have an extremely intelligent retired college professor for
a customer.  He writes doctor level text books on structural
engineering.  He is a sweet old duffer with an I.Q. I would guess
at 200.

    Part of what he does in his text books is give Fortran code to
go along with the extremely complicated equations in his books.
He has asked me to put him together a new computer (I figure
Fedora Core 15 x64 bit).

    I do not know squat about Fortran compilers.

    Question: is there a good Fortran environment I should put on
his new computer?  Bear in mind when you answer, that if my customer
likes your suggestion, doctoral engineering students will be required
to use it (tormented with it).

Many thanks,
-T
