Description

Microsoft FORTRAN 4.1 was introduced in spring 1988. This FORTRAN 77 compiler supported both 16 bit OS/2 and DOS application generation.

Released in Summer 1989 FORTRAN 5.0 supports now creating applications for the Presentation Manager.

FORTRAN 5.1 introduced a year later shipped with some limited Windows 3 support. In addition to the Fortran77 standard the compiler comes with some support for IBM VS FORTRAN and DEC VAX Fortran extensions . The company also supplied an optional IMSL Fortran Numerical Library.

Note that by the time version 5.1 hit the ground Microsoft was no longer calling the product using the traditional all caps FORTRAN77 naming convention, but simply Microsoft Fortran 5.1. This product was discontinued in 1993.
