The compilers are fairly good, but I am a little bit disappointed at the $2000 + price tag to get it to use more than 640K of memory. The company trys to make lots of $$$ by selling the compilers at a heafty price. (There is nothing wrong with that. I don't like nor use FORTRAN anyway) We found that out recently. We decided to do C++ route - use Borland C++ for developement work & compile it with GCC if we need lots of memory. (GCC is free and supports up to 256 megabytes of Virtual Memory) >---------------------------------------------------------------- >Keith H.
