Does anyone yet have any details of forthcoming VAX Fortran compilers
for the Transputer?  I've heard that there may be a VAX-hosted cross-
compiler this year, and maybe a native version next year. Inmos and 3L
seem the most likely contenders, but I don't know for sure.  And, yes,
I know it's a horrible thought, but with 30 or 40 staff years' 
investment in the software, I'd rather port than see a re-write!

Cheers,
