[Bioclusters] fortran 9x compilers for linux clusters

[Peter oledzki]

Very nice page joe thanks for that...it happens that
i'm just starting to get into fortran in my PhD
project. I don't know much about the language to be
honest. Have you got any good links on fortran
tutorials or fortran info? 

Cheers 

Pete
