See http://www.cygwin.com/ and http://www.mingw.org/ -- both provide
GNU Fortran 77 compilers that will run on Windows 2000, but with very
different runtime behaviour. Mingw site has a short description on
the difference between the two.

GNU Fortran 77 runtime library provides SYSTEM, which you can use. You'll
have to read the runtime library documentation for that.
