The latest GNU gFortran has the extensions you need and will produce a 64-bit
native executable optimised for an AMD processor, rather than one optimised
for an inferior brand of 32-bit processor.
You should *never* install *any* software which does not come with source
code -- you don't know where it's been. If the software vendor isn't
prepared to show you the source code, that's a clear sign that there is
something in there that they don't want you to see.
You wouldn't buy a cake that didn't have a list of ingredients on the box,
would you?
