error message in plato

Question

I am very new Fortran and I am doing some elementary practice. I have installed Plato latest edition. I found this program in the net, and try to compile it

program dotprod
  implicit none
  real :: c
  real, dimension(3) :: a, b
  print*,'Enter first vector'
  read*, a
  print*,'Enter second vector'
  read*, b
  c = a(1)*b(1) + a(2)*b(2) + a(3)*b(3)
  print*,'Dot product = ', c

end program dotprod

Plato shows no sign of error when I build and compile, but when I try to run the program the following error message shows up: the executable does not exist.

can anyone help me explain how to handle this error ?

thanks

Maybe your file name is too long. I had the same error message, and then I saved the file using another shorter name and suddenly it worked... I also tried your code and it works on my Plato (FTN95 Personal Edition (FTN95PE) version 7.20) on windows 10.
