Is there a better idea? Message-ID: <18763@oregon.uoregon.edu> Date: 9 Apr 90 04:00:16 GMT Distribution: usa Organization: University of Oregon Lines: 17 { I Un two recent postings, K Dobbs asks whether a Think FORTRAN is in the works. Does anyone know? I also would welcome such a package. Does C or any other language allow Extende, Complex numerical simulations as straight-forwardly as FORTRAN=77? What if the code must ultimately be vectorized for a super? Presently I am using Language Systems MPW/FORTRAN for number crunching and MPW/C for instrument interfacing (data aquisition). I am very happy with the support and software provided by Language Systems. I am not thrilled with SADE. Hence my interest in THINK FORTRAN! Wisdom from more experienced programmers will be relished!
