What's a good Fortran compiler?

Hello,

I am starting a Fortran class this semester and I wanted to know what's a good compiler to go with? Are there any good free downloads? I would appreciate your help. Thanks.

BTW, I looked at Compaq's version, but the Academic Full Version of the Standard is around $300. That's a little high for me.
 
I had a tough time even finding one when I took Fortan a few years ago. My brother-in-law gave his Fortran Compiler by Microsoft. I wasn't the best compiler I ever saw, but it worked. I will look around and see if I still have it. If I do, I will PM you.
 
Thanks for the help. I went looking around and I found out that Microsoft no longer makes the Powerstation. Compaq's Digital does. So, I went over to Provantage's website (to use my student discount) and for just a Standard full-version of their software, it's $300!!! For Fortran, give me a break. If you happen to find an old copy I would love to work something out if possible. Thanks again.
 
Most Linux releases provide a GNU Fortran compiler for free. If you don't have Linux, Cygwin also provides a free GNU compiler.
