FreeDOS includes the Openwatcom FORTRAN 77 compiler, as part of the developer tools.
If you've ever wanted to explore FORTRAN programming, here's a primer I wrote:

It's an intro to the language—and while it doesn't cover everything, you can use this to write useful programs right away.
And it's a good jumping off point to learn more about FORTRAN on your own.
