As a sometimes Ada user - you get a free version of the ACT compiler 
with FC3. You can either use gnatmake or compile files directly with 
gcc. I developed a couple of applications with it a few years ago and 
it's a very good compiler.
Failing that there's always C, C++, Perl, Python, Ruby, TCL,Fortran 
etc.. etc... that comes with FC!
