Hello
I have an old, small Fortran 4 program doing some statistics on time series: 
Aandstat.
The .EXE file ran on 32 bits PC with like XP-OS, but not anymore on 64 bits.

A colleague on mine tried compile the attached code in gfortran.
The gfortran compilation gave a couple of error messages, gfortran does not 
seem to accept the “\” sign.
Is there a valid replacement for that sign (command) we can use, to get quickly 
forward?

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Best regards
Lars Golmen

Hi Lars!

Fortran is exciting, in fact it has evolved significantly during the last few 
years and it fits modern standards nowadays, except for the building system 
probably. Also, some of the most in demand machine learning libraries still use 
Fortran code.

Regarding your problem. I have tried to compile it with gfortran, it is a free 
open source compiler. It throws some errors:

```
(base) lmsh@l5:~/src/lars_fortran$ gfortran AANDSTAT.FOR -std=legacy -o program
AANDSTAT.FOR:27:22:

   27 |  10      WRITE(*,'(//,A\)')' OPPGI FILNAMN FOR INPUT DATA-->'
      |                      1
Error: Unexpected element ‘\’ in format string at (1)
AANDSTAT.FOR:30:17:

   30 |        WRITE(*,'(A\)')' OPPGI FILNAMN FOR RESULTAT (NY FIL)-->'
      |                 1
Error: Unexpected element ‘\’ in format string at (1)
(base) lmsh@l5:~/src/lars_fortran$

Some googling proved that the code is compiler specific. It can be compiled 
with the Intel compiler (ifort). Sadly it is not free now. I believe NIVA has 
VisualStudio license with ifort so your files can be compiled with visual 
studio solutions building system, but currently I don’t have access to these 
facilities.

Cheers,
Shamil

Hei Shamil
Nice to know you do Fortran.
I worked with Fortran many years ago, Fortran 4.. on old computers. My 
compliler no longer works.
Is it possible for you to recompile some source code I have, to work on present 
OS?
I attach an example, just one program, no subroutines to map here. To make some 
special statistics on a equidistant time series. Input file name to be 
provided, 2 columns w ascii data.
OK?
(I have several others..🙂)

Helsing
Lars G
