First, I got the following message from Parallels: It appears that after installing the same software from the same disk but under virtual Windows 7 on a Mac, Visual Studio 2005 is not integrated properly with the Fortran Compiler, as though it does not 'know' the Fortran Compiler exists. f90 files to a newly created project, and in creating the project only a default template is available-i.e., not the 'console application' template I have use to get started previously. I installed the same software (same installation disk) in the the virtual Windows 7 and got what at first looked like the same installation, but the 'build' option does not appear on the menu after adding several. Recently I got a Mac Pro and installed Windows 7 on it using Parallels. I have been running Visual Fortran 10.1 on a PC under Windows XP for a few years, through Visual Studio 2005, which was provided with and installed from the same installation disk.
