Recommend a (free) Fortran 95 compiler?

I want a free Fortan 95 compiler to use with Windows 7. I want something simple. For example, I used to do C++ with Dev C++ but switched to Code::Blocks which is just ever so slightly better. But, I want something very easy and simple...

Thanks in advance for any help..

Update:

That was one that I found when searching but I notice that the latest "Recent Milestone" on their homepage is dated October 2008, perhaps that's not a problem though?

Update 2:

Thanks husoki. I'll check it out. But not tonight, it's getting a little too late in my time zone.

    If you downloaded Code::Blocks with MinGW, or separately installed MinGW as your Code::Blocks toolchain, then you already have gfortran, which is a Fortran 95 compiler if your sources are named blah.f95, or if you code the -x f95 option on the command line (for files with .f or .for suffix, maybe.)

    The stock C::B IDE doesn't support Fortran projects, though. I found an interesting link, though, looking for "gfortran ide":

    http://darmar.vgtu.lt/

    Claims to be a beta ide for Fortran, based on Code::Blocks. It's last update was 2012.06.05, which is a ton newer than Code::Blocks (nothing since 2010, IIRC, unless you dl and compile one of the "nightlies").

    So far as i know, sure, you can collect f77 with f95; anyway, if it no longer actual, simply find a f77 compiler (gcc has one), about gcc, the three points will have to practice (maybe 2 making use of cygwin?)
