In reply to DOS.

I guess I didn’t feel advernterious enough, but at the same time figured that my stupid ‘list’ program would run f2c with all the flags and paths fine…

Maybe I should revisit it.

In reply to neozeed. I looked further and Borland's WinRun also required 386 Enhanced mode. I find it interesting that QuickC for Windows didn't come with a make tool, but its IDE project file format is a makefile! I wonder to what extent you can manually edit that .MAK file and the IDE will still be able to understand it and do what you ask it to?

In reply to DOS.

I was trying to keep it 286 and simple…

If I were more ambitious I’d have either messed with make files or ported a make…

Instead of having to write that “list” program, if you upgrade to Visual C++ (e.g. version 1.5) or downgrade to Microsoft C/C++ 7 (but no earlier) and don’t mind having to use 386 Enhanced mode to build, you can use the wx tool to run Windows programs from a DOS prompt within Windows. Or maybe you can just install wx/wxserver from https://www.pcorner.com/list/MISC/HF0556.ZIP/INFO/, perhaps that doesn’t depend on anything from the FORTRAN toolset it says it’s for?

Borland C++ 4.5 came with something similar called WinRun.

That was fun.
