It depends on the linker that your Fortran compiler uses. Most NT Ada
compilers use Microsoft C++'s linker (Rational VADS and Alsys are two
examples). If your Fortran compiler produces object files that are
compatable with Microsoft's linker, you're in business.
On the other hand, I believe GNAT uses its own (actually, gcc's) linker.
This would probably make it compatable with any gcc-Fortran port to NT,
if there is such a thing.
One extra word of advice; I suggest starting the NT port from the SGI
version, not the VMS version. In my experience, NT's internals are a
lot closer to UNIX's internals than to VMS's.
