I don't know why anybody would want to use third part fortran compilers anymore, at least now that there is a public domain f2c (fortran to C) translator and the GNU C compiler. I believe I have seen statements on the net to the effect that f2c+gcc actually beats many vendor's FORTRAN compilers in terms of performance. The only reason I can think of for people's continued use of other FORTRAN compilers is that the necessary debugger support for f2c might not be fully there yet, but IMHO, that's a solvable problem. -- // Ron Guilmette - C++ Entomologist // Internet: rfg@ncd.com uucp: ...uunet!lupine!rfg // Motto: If it sticks, force it.
