	I'v used Prospero's Fortran for several years now, and find it
        reasonable. One of the good things is the ease by which code can
        ported too and from the PC without any changes if you use
        their PC compiler as well.

	The compiler is not the fastest around, but produces tight
        code.  The actual workbench is v.good, and I find it very 
        productive. The latest 'toolbox' from Prospero gives even 
        greater flexibility to this environment. They also have
        MC68881 support as well.

	Hope this helps

	Chris.

	I only use the product, I don't have shares in the company.
