fortran enviroment

My girlfriend is doing a project for school that requires her to program in fortran. At school she uses Microsoft Visual studio on a windoze machine. Is there a similar enviroment I can install for her to do some very basic fortran work in linux?

As my knowledge, gcc tools with Linux OS often include fortran compiler.
For example, in RedHat 7.3, "g77 *.f" can create an executable file a.out
for running your program by "./a.out" . In FC4, "gcc -xf77 *.f" may be used.
So in your linux OS terminal, try to type "man gcc" to look for fortran compiler.

If you're looking for an editor with syntax highligtning you could use:

emacs kate kwrite vi vim

and then using shell run the g77 command.
