I have used Lahey Personal a little bit.  I would rate it very favorably
against MS Fortran.  I would qualify this, because I have never used it
for a large project.  Generally, I compile numeric routines and link
them with a larger C program.

Yes it does support 80x87 coprocessor. Floating point emulation is supported
as well.

I have also been favorably impressed by the responsive support from Lahey.
Not many companies support $100 products this well.
