What programming language do you want to use?

Note that Power Station Fortran 4.0 is ancient by computer standards.
If you plan to use Fortran, then I suggest you use g77 or g95 that 
is part of the cygwin installation (or can be used in combination
with it).


Remark: I am about to try the Cygwin environment and MS VC++, to see 
if we can use the configure script in this combination. That would solve 
a lot of issues with Windows.

An alternative route is that you look at the sys/win32/msdev directory
where the current Windows-specific tools are located. The INSTALL 
file contains the necessary details.
