I hope the announcement explains how this full Fortran 90 compiler is going to be tested and certified since there are no test or certification suites yet for much of the functionality of Fortran 90. Compilers typically come out before validation suites. The early compilers are typically employed by the suite writers. For Fortran90, one assumes that the vendor can at least test out a large fraction of the f77 subset of standard ;> I am looking forward to this announcement too. I've wanted one since 1985. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Keith H.
