App writing in Fortran

[eric_carwardine]

I've not yet written an app for a mobile and Fortran is the only language I know. Is there any hope for me to write a short app to open and read any file and then write it to a separate device. Robocopy can't do the intricacies of what I need.

Gosh, Fortran. That is quite a blast from the past ! Surprisingly, it still seems possible to use Fortran on mobile, at least on Android. Not sure about other platforms. If you Google on fortran mobile you find a number of posts about it, and even a couple of videos (if you can understand the English speak of these India whiz kids).

Thank you cbreemer.

Speaking of India did mathematics as a science originate from India or from Arab countries? Either origin it is still a powerful science.

Thank you for the links, they offer much promise.

Good luck ! I hope it works out for you. If it doesn't, I guess it's time to learn a new language.

I'm optimistic. Could 'timistic' be an OP (operating system)?

Seriously, I'll write the code using Force 2.0 Fortran (lepsch) and convert the .exe file to .apk

Two applications I'm working on are:

• Customized program to dismantle one very large file into sections for emailing as attachments. Receiver to re-assemble using different option in same program. There are programs to send large files but I prefer the challenge of writing my own solution.
• A random sequence generator to support my ideas on my website at Select not elect. The one presently on my website needs modifying and it was written in JavaScript.
