Prospero C also implements ANSI C, which like all Prospero languages work on other systems (tested with C, Pascal, Fortran on a VAX) when you're re- stricting yourself to the standards. Additional features: GEM integrated, library manager, mixed language support (important for numerical algorithms using Fortran libs), good documentation optional features: cheap coprocessor libraries available (so you can build 3 versions of a program), developers toolkit available (with some minor goodies like a command shell and a Make-utility) Ralf --- Ralf Gaertner gaertner@venus.rz-berlin.mpg.de FHI Berlin
