Well, Sun has un-bundled their fortran compiler; you have to buy it now. I doubt many individuals could afford that, either. In general, unbundling compilers seems to be a trend for computer manufactures these days (another e.g.: Connection Machine). -- Barry Merriman UCLA Dept. of Math UCLA Inst. for Fusion and Plasma Research barry@math.ucla.edu (Internet) barry@arnold.math.ucla.edu (NeXTMail)
