Running Fortran programs from Mathematica

I am using Mathematica 7 on a WindowsXP machine.

I attempted to execute the example given under Help /Run in
Mathematica 7.


When that attempt failed, I tried to evaluate a Fortran executable
file using a Mathematica command.

In the following, I have DEFL.EXE and associated input data files in
the Mathematica folder.

Please tell me how to correct what I have done.  Thank you.

Basic Examples  (1)

Run a standalone Mathematica kernel, putting the result of a command
in a temporary file:

In[21]:= commandstring =
 First[$CommandLine] <>
  " -noprompt -run \
\"Put[Factorial[20],ToFileName[$TemporaryPrefix,ToString[temp1]]];Quit[]
\""

Out[21]= "MathKernel -noprompt -run \
\"Put[Factorial[20],ToFileName[$TemporaryPrefix,ToString[temp1]]];Quit[]
\""

The command exited without an error code:

In[22]:= Run[commandstring]

Out[22]= 0

Show the contents of the file:

In[23]:= FilePrint[ToFileName[$TemporaryPrefix, ToString[temp1]]]

During evaluation of In[23]:= General::noopen: Cannot open C:
\Documents and Settings\johnc\Local Settings\Temp\m\temp1. >>

Delete the file:

In[24]:= DeleteFile[ToFileName[$TemporaryPrefix, ToString[temp1]]]

During evaluation of In[24]:= DeleteFile::nffil: File not found during
DeleteFile[C:\Documents and Settings\johnc\Local Settings\Temp\m
\temp1]. >>

Out[24]= $Failed

In[25]:= commandstring =
 First[$CommandLine] <>
  " -noprompt -run \
\"Put[Factorial[20],ToFileName[$TemporaryPrefix,ToString[DEFL.EXE]]];Quit[]
\""

Out[25]= "MathKernel -noprompt -run \
\"Put[Factorial[20],ToFileName[$TemporaryPrefix,ToString[DEFL.EXE]]];Quit[]
\""

In[26]:= Run[commandstring]

Out[26]= 0

In[27]:= FilePrint[ToFileName[$TemporaryPrefix, ToString[DEF.RES]]]

During evaluation of In[27]:= General::noopen: Cannot open C:
\Documents and Settings\johnc\Local Settings\Temp\m\DEF . RES. >>

In[28]:= Run[DEFL.EXE]

Out[28]= 1

In[29]:= FilePrint[' DEF.RES']

The command exited without an error code:

In[30]:= Run[commandstring]

Out[30]= 0

Delete the file:

During evaluation of In[32]:= DeleteFile::nffil: File not found during
DeleteFile[C:\Documents and Settings\johnc\Local Settings\Temp\m
\temp1]. >>

Out[32]= $Failed
