Hi- I'm new to FORTRAN and I have to run/compile some files that were
previously run on Compaq/Digital compiler using DFLIB. I am using
gfortran compilier. Is there a graphics library to use that is
comparable to the DFLIB I can use? or another fortran compilier that
would have a graphics library I could use similiar to DFLIB?

Thanks

The DFLIB was superseded by IFLIB, which, as far as I know, is only
available through the Intel Fortran Compiler.

You may also take a look at the DISLIN library at
http://www.mps.mpg.de/dislin/.

I hope that helps.

DFLIB contains a bunch more than just graphics though. So you're
potentially missing a lot more.

I just checked the IVF Include folder, and there is no IFLIB at all
(though I'm sure to have used such library in the past). The
equivalent to DFLIB is actually provided by three new libraries
(IFQWIN, IFCORE and some part of IFPORT)

The additional features mentioned by Gary Scott are now part of IFPORT
(which is great, since qwin.lib doesn't allow linking against dynamic
libraries).

Correct. Intel Visual Fortran provides a DFLIB module for
compatibility with CVF, but as you note, the routines which were in
DFLIB have been split into three individual modules.

Note that in Intel Fortran for Linux, modules IFCORE and IFPORT are
provided.
