Well, I can help you on a couple of counts.
You can get RM/FORTRAN by calling us/faxing us/writing us.
(There isn't a distributor in Australia)

The sales person to contact is:
	Kristen Telford
	Language Processors, Inc.	Phone:	(508) 626-0006
	959 Concord St.			FAX:	(508) 626-2221
	Framingham, MA. USA		TELEX:	951671
	01701-4613

As for what the switches do (quoted from DOS Users guide for
version 2.4): /LEZ --> means /L, /E, and /Z

	/L: Use the /L Option to generate a standard program listing.
	    (Details of the listing format are provided later in this
	    chapter.)  The /L option must be specified in order to
	    specify the /A, /C, /J, /M, /P, /S, /W, and /X Options.
	    The default is to not generate a program listing.

	/E: Use the /E Option to generate a listing of error and
	    warning lines only.  The default is to generate the full
	    listing if the /L option is specified; no listing if the
	    /L Option is not specified.

	/Z: Use the /Z Option to suppress all code optimization
	    including /ZL optimizations (see below).  This is helpful if,
	    for instance, you wish to inhibit code rearrangement during
	    compilation.  (Chapter Six, _Advanced_Information_ details
	    code optimization.)  The default is to perform code
	    optimization.

Hey!  This is MY opinion.  Opinions have little to do with corporate policy.
