If you want to create a Desktop shortcut you can browse for the executable.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Simply Fortran 2\fwin\fwin.exe

Then right click and select "Send to" then "Desktop (create shortcut)"

There should be an entry in your Start menu or Start screen (depending on the version of Windows) under Simply Fortran 2 to launch Simply Fortran.

If you'd prefer, you can also launch it from its installed directory. The default would be at:

C:\Program Files\Simply Fortran 2\fwin\fwin.exe

C:\Program Files (x86)\Simply Fortran 2\fwin\fwin.exe

again, depending on your version of Windows.

Sorry for any confusion!

How to launch the program

As a 30+ year veteran of FORTRAN, I'm thrilled to give Simply Fortran a try! Unfortunately, when it installed there was no shortcut created on my desktop. As such, I have a directory full of things and no idea what to click to start the program.

The help pages unfortunately begin with "When Simply Fortran first starts..." but I am looking for the step BEFORE that. What executable should I shortcut to/double click on, to make the program launch?
