Lionel,
Fortran is very alive and quite well. The amount of Fortran legacy code
around will likely ensure its existence into the next millenium,
especially for scientific code.
There is a free Fortran compiler available for personal use that
will run under various flavors of windows at
http://www.salford.co.uk
I've been able to run most well written Fortran programs just
fine on my PC running Windows.
I know of at least 1 free C compiler out there that will run
on Windows, but don't know of any free C++ compilers.
I would hazard a guess that you should be able to get Tisean
to run just fine under Windows, but you'll never know unless
you try.
Good luck,
Jeff
