You must install fortran compiler:
	if You are using gcc-2.8.1 then download and install v2gnu/g770523b.zip
       if  You are using egcs-1.1.2 then download and install v2gnu/egcs/g77e112b.zip
(use 'gcc -v' to see version You have and don't mix versions)

Name Your Fortran files foo.f or like (extension .f).
After that RHIDE should be able to compile Fortran programs. However to debug
them with rhide You may need to set breakpoint in main program at first.

Syntax highlighting is more complicated as for C or C++ and is not provided
in rhide-1.4.7. (example '         DOI=1,3', one should recognize DO in this context
as DO statement, even when it's not separated)
