   Does anybody know of a good Fortran compiler for a 

   Unix Operating system ?

    We would like it to be able to check the following:

      a) extensions to the Fortran 77 standard;

      b) check array bounds are within defined range;

      c) check the types of arguments passed between program

         units  are the same and the number of arguments 

         passed is correct;

      d) undefined variables are left as undefined and not set to

         zero or any other predefined initial state;

      e) check varaibles have been declared before used.


    At the moment we have a DEC 8800 system running VMS and we 

    are using the University of Waterloo WATFOR-77 compiler which

    does all the above.

   

       If anybody knows of a good fortran compiler for a unix opearting

    system that does at least items  (c) and (d) above could they mail me.


     Thanks in advance.
