It's frustrating not having any Linux version in which I can personally
investigate the problems people are reporting with compiling and running
PMX294. As far as I recall, we've never had problems like this before. So if
it's possible to make it run alongside or under my Windows 7 OS, I'm willing
to download and install one version of Linux. Can anyone advise me (1)
whether that's possible; (2) if so, which Linux system would be the one that
would be most useful for the problem at hand (i.e., resolving FORTRAN
compilation issues); (3) where to go to get the download; (4) is a FORTRAN
compiler included in the download; (5) if not, which fortran compiler should
I download and install and where should I go to get it?
