How about this assignment?

"Compile these Fortran programs from the UNIX server so they can be run on Windows."

Ok...

Step 1 - Post on message board.
Step 2 - Shoot self
Step 3 - Realize that you didn't wait for answer to Step 1
Step 4 - Realize you no longer need an answer for Step 1
Step 5 - Relax and die

Anybody have any clue what I could be doing. One "helpful" person directed me to http://www.cygwin.com because I could then compile the Fortran to C which would make it much more portable...uh.........................................

I'm lost...anyone got directions?
