Our research group is interested in locating low-cost compilers for 
PASCAL and FORTRAN.  Encore's price, even with an educational discount,
is a steep $3,750 each.  At these prices that makes a source license
out of the question for us.  Are there any 3rd party compilers available ?
Are they any good ?  

Alternatively, how good are the Encore compilers ?  Are they so good
it might justify the cost ?
