Is this the same as the made by Ergo Software out in Boston?  We have been 
using a product by them called OS/386 for quite some time with Microsoft
FORTRAN 5.0.  Works quite well.  I think the street cost is about $595 and
they charge about $10 for a binder (provided you sign some form).

Has anybody tried out the latest FORTRAN from Microsoft ie. V 5.1?  It has 
some library to run program under Windows that can suck up all the 
extended memory.
