Fortran 90 is a particular standard of the Fortran language -- it's another computer programming language, like C++ is. Fortran's the great grandaddy of programming languages, and every few years, a new standard is made. It first came out in 1957, and other major standards along the way, including F90.

Where did you find that Dolfyn program, Cd?

Back on about your original question -- I'd tried, without too much success, to try and run the windows port of OpenFOAM. Very cryptic error messages, and thus, very little progress made to even try the tutorials on a windows platform.

My intent in my spare time over the winter months was to try it out on a spare machine that runs linux. We do lack a "poor man's virtual wind tunnel", and I was hoping to get familiar enough with the workings of OpenFOAM to find a way to make a more user friendly front end for the sort of testing you, I, and others have wanted to run on models of our own cars.
