algebra system developed in the 1960s.
Visual C++ Express is a
free ANSI C compiler for Microsoft Windows running on IBM-PC
compatible computers. It is the free subset of the Visual Studio
compiler sold by Microsoft.
MinGW is based on the free ANSI C compiler from
the GNU project, for Microsoft DOS and Windows running on IBM-PC
compatible computers.
DJGPP is a
free ANSI C compiler for Microsoft DOS and Windows running on IBM-PC
compatible computers.
The GNU C compiler, or gcc, is already installed on most Unix and
Linux machines. It is available in source and binary form
from the Free Software Foundation.
MatLab
An old version of MatLab, from 1982, is in the public domain.
matlab.zip(99246 bytes)
is a PKZIP-compressed archive of FORTRAN source code. It is intended
for compilation on NeXT computers, and might have to be ported to
other systems.
matlab.exe (208896 bytes) is a
pre-compiled executable for IBM PCs and compatibles running Windows
95/98/2000/NT. Get it and the help file, matlab.hlp(31079 bytes), and save them to
the same folder.
matlab (210810 bytes) is a
pre-compiled executable for Pentium-based PCs running Linux. Get it and save
it to /usr/local/bin; get the help file, matlab.hlp(31079 bytes), and save it to
/usr/local/lib. Non-privilieged users can save both
files to some one directory they control and do all calculations there.
Octave
Octave is a freeware imitation of MatLab.
Octave
self-installing executables for various systems are available as free downloads
as sources and binaries from the GNU Octave project.
F2C [.f]
This is a FORTRAN to C translator available in the public domain as C
source code. It may be used to convert FORTRAN (.f) source files into
C on computers lacking a FORTRAN compiler.
f2cexe.zip (205146 bytes)
is an archive containing a precompiled binary f2c.exe for Windows
95/98/2000/NT, the library vcf2c.lib of replacements for FORTRAN
intrinsic functions needed to finish compiling and linking with Visual
C++, the header file f2c.h, and a short explanation file readme.txt.
These are based on the 2000-08-17 version of f2c, and were used to
prepare matlab.exe, available from this site, from its FORTRAN
sources.
f2c.zip (402427 bytes) is an archive
containing the complete C sources for the 2000-08-17 version of f2c.
The official f2c distribution site is at Bell Labs. It will
have the latest version, as well as pre-compiled executable versions for
various computers.
