I actually didn't know that gfortran was already available for Windows, 
but I might try it (I'm a little bit hesitant since it's only an 
installer and not a zip file, where I can set my paths myself).

Either there are major problems or the MinGW project is dying. Which 
would be a pity. MinGW gcc 3.4.5 is actually not a bad compiler at all, 
quite fast and already has precompiled header support. They seem to try 
to get everything working (all languages) - since djgpp is already at 
version 4.1 with it's c/c++ compilers.

Anyway, I'll look into gfortran when time permits.

Thanks,
Werner
