  When Studio generates Fortran code, it tries to automatically
launch the Compaq Visual Fortran compiler. If you do not have that
particular compiler installed, you will get the "failed to find
path" error but the *.for code will still be created so that you can
build a DLL using a different compiler.

Normally, there is no need to open the source code (*.for) in the TRNSYS
Studio (which expects a *.tpf or *.tmf file extension). The source code
needs to be opened using a Fortran compiler.
