As far as I understand, Lahey in real or protected mode is a very good, and
fast, compiler, although we may say so of MicroWay, FTN77 ...

I'v just run a benchmark with watfor but do not have an opportunity to touch
it much, so I've no comment.

About Fortran for MSWindows: (I'm afraid that I'm erring here!) only MS C 
versions 5.1 and 6 have Windows flags and MS Fortran 5.x doesn't yet have
those switchs. I know of no other fortran that has those : c'est le dernier
de mes souhaits !

PS: I wonder whether MS Fortran version >= 6 will have dos-extended mode ?
