	What do you mean by Unix Fortran ??

	There is an ISO Fortran standard called Fortran77. In my
experience most Fortran compilers on Unix machines have a close
conformance to this standard.

My knowledge of Fortran compilers for the ST is limited to Prospero's
Fortran77 compiler which is a fully ISO validated. I have experienced no
problems,( when programming within the standard ) moving code to and
form my Sun at work.

I think there is another compiler for the ST but cannot remember any
details.

Hope this helps

Chris...
