Announcements
It's about time to have an exam. You can find it here. As it does include questions about character variables, you may need to look up a few things. Work through it, type the answers on a copy, and send me the file by e-mail. When should it be due? I am making it available as of March 19. Please try to get it back to me within a week. If you have any questions, please ask.

Links to other documents
You will need a FORTRAN compiler. One choice is gfortran. If you want to download a copy of gfortran to install on your own computer, a good place to start is here. I suggest going to "MinGW build" and clicking on "installer". That will download a self-installing version of gfortran: just execute it to install gfortran.
