Microsoft Developer Studio Fortran Powerstation

In 1997, DEC released DIGITAL Visual Fortran 5.0, aka “DVF”, which was our own compiler and RTL plus the Visual Studio IDE and other Microsoft bits such as QuickWin to maintain compatibility with PowerStation. While PowerStation was widely used on Windows, it wasn’t a big seller for Microsoft and they realized that it needed a lot of investment to keep up with the language standard. We asked Microsoft about licensing their Visual Studio IDE for this, and they in turn proposed to license us not only the Visual Studio IDE but also their Fortran PowerStation product. Has it really been 35 years? - Doctor Fortran.Compaq bought Digital in 1998: Compaq to buy Digital for $9.6 billion - CNET.Because it shares the same integrated development environment, DIGITAL Visual Fortran 5.0 can be used with other Microsoft development tools that are integrated in Developer Studio, an integrated development environment. The DIGITAL compiler has been enhanced to provide compatibility with Microsoft Fortran PowerStation 4.0 and to include enhancements proposed in the ISO/ANSI Fortran 95 language standard. Microsoft and DIGITAL have been working closely to ensure that users of Microsoft Fortran PowerStation can easily upgrade to DIGITAL Visual Fortran 5.0. DIGITAL and Microsoft Announce Developer Studio Licensing Agreement - Stories.Microsoft Fortran Powerstation => Digital Visual Fortran => Compaq Visual Fortran => Intel Visual Fortran Yes, there is the Visual Studio IDE and there is Visual Fortran using the Quickwin library for making GUIs in Fortran. Did Microsoft pioneer any innovations in the language itself? I think the quoted text should be removed from the article. Whoever wrote that has confused an IDE with a programming language. Is that too tricky for a Wikipedia article? Write (*,'(a,g12.4)') 'Average of negative points = ', negative_average Write (*,'(a,g12.4)') 'Average of positive points = ', positive_average Negative_average = sum(points, points < 0.) / count(points < 0.) Negative_average = sum(points, points 0) thenĪverage_points = sum(points) / number_of_points Positive_average = sum(points, points > 0.) / count(points > 0.) ! Now form average over positive and negative points only If (number_of_points > 0) average_points = sum(points) / number_of_points

! Take the average by summing points and dividing by number_of_points Write (*,*) 'Enter the points to average:' Write (*,*) 'Input number of points to average:' Real, dimension(:), allocatable :: points ! While this may not be desired behavior, it keeps this example simple ! As written, if there are no data points, an average of zero is returned

! Read in some numbers and take the average Looking at the article, I see this code at the end: program average The section headings of the Wikipedia Fortran entry have been revised, in particular the concept of ‘Modern Fortran’ is now introduced.
