Rodney,
the GCC package includes FORTRAN. I used it to compile NOVAS and SOFA,
worked perfectly. (my NOVAS code, on the other hand ...)
back to Dave's original question,
> What sources exist to determine compass variation for your position at
sea?
what counts as fair for sources? variation is printed on every chart,
right? world maps are available (in APN for example), GPS has it built in.
given most variations are just a few arc minutes you would need a flat calm
but sights on polaris might do it, good luck though.
