Hi, I don't grok Fortran, but I'll pipe in here (unless someone else
volunteers, doubt it!),

Technically, no, DJGPP's version is whatever your manifest/djdev*.ver
file says (probably 2.03p2, if I had to guess ... anything older is
too old, so upgrade, it's free!!).

From what I can tell, G77 was last supported in GCC 3.4.4 (for DJGPP,
at least), so I'd suggest you at least get the latest / greatest if
you can (instead of 2.95). However, I blindly assume that G95 also has
a F77 mode, so I don't think it's "exclusive or." Even Cygwin (still
stuck at 3.4.4 "stable" last I checked) should have it.

Also, be aware that even OpenWatcom has a F77 compiler (with all the
same targets, I assume:  DOS, Win16, OS/2 16-bit/32-bit, Win32, etc).

I don't know, check the Info docs, perhaps?
